Summary: The Rancho RS90000XL series provides industry-leading versatility for the Ford Ranger and International Scout platforms. Featuring a 9-position manual tuning knob, these shocks allow drivers to instantly adjust damping levels to compensate for varying loads or terrain. Whether you are seeking firm control for towing or a softer ride for daily commuting, this nitrogen-gas charged solution eliminates the compromise between comfort and performance.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine levels of damping control to ensure the vehicle is perfectly tuned for street, off-road, or towing applications.
• Large Shock Body: A heavy-duty 2.75-inch diameter body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operation and consistent damping during aggressive use.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: High-pressure gas optimization provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and fade-free performance.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty poly-vinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.
