Rancho RS9000XL 3″ Lift Shocks for 1983-1992 Ford Ranger 4WD

Part Number: RS999117

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series provides ultimate control for your 1983-1992 Ford Ranger 4WD, featuring a globally recognized 9-position manual adjustment knob. This Tier 2 adjustable system allows drivers to instantly tune their damping profiles to transition from a soft street ride to a firm setting for heavy towing or off-road excursions. Engineered to accommodate a 3-inch lift, these shocks solve the compromise between daily comfort and rugged performance by giving you total authority over your vehicle’s ride quality.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping to ensure the perfect ride for any terrain or load requirement.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.75-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy-duty use.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: High-pressure gas optimization provides immediate response to road irregularities to ensure consistent tire-to-ground contact.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a shield for the shock rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against trail debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the firmness of these shocks?
Each shock features an external 9-position knob located at the base of the shock body. You can manually turn the dial to increase or decrease damping resistance without tools.

Do these shocks provide the 3 inches of lift?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and extended in length to function correctly on vehicles already equipped with a 3-inch suspension lift kit.

Can I use these for both daily driving and towing?
Yes. These are ideal for multi-purpose vehicles; you can use a lower setting (1-3) for a plush daily commute and a higher setting (7-9) to control sway and sag while towing or hauling.
