Part Number: RS999136

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series provides industry-leading versatility for your classic Ford Ranger. Featuring a 9-position manual tuning knob, these shocks allow drivers to instantly adjust damping levels to transition from soft street comfort to firm control for towing or off-road use. Engineered for vehicles with a 2.5-inch front lift, this nitrogen-gas charged shock delivers a custom-tailored ride height and performance profile that standard shocks cannot match.

Features

• MyRide 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping to ensure the perfect balance between highway smoothness and off-road stability.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.75-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operation and reduced fade during heavy-duty use.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: High-pressure gas charging provides a faster response rate to ensure consistent tire-to-road contact on uneven terrain.
• Heavy-Duty Nitro-Carburized Rod: A 18mm diameter piston rod provides exceptional structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the firmness of these shocks?
The RS9000XL features an external 9-position knob located at the base of the shock body that can be turned by hand to increase or decrease damping resistance.

Will these shocks lift my Ford Ranger?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-matched for Ford Rangers that already have a 2.5-inch front lift kit installed.

What is the benefit of the larger 2.75-inch body?
The increased surface area and oil volume allow the shock to dissipate heat more effectively, preventing the “fading” or softening of the ride during sustained off-road activity.
