Rancho RS9000XL 2.5″ Lift Shocks for 1976-1981 Jeep CJ5, CJ7 4WD

Part Number: RS999119

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series provides the ultimate in ride control versatility for your classic Jeep or AM General utility vehicle. Featuring a 9-position manual adjustment knob, these shocks allow you to instantly tune your damping settings to transition from smooth highway cruising to firm off-road stability. Engineered for vehicles with a 2.5-inch lift, they provide the necessary travel and damping capacity to handle increased ride height without sacrificing comfort.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping force to ensure the driver can customize ride quality for towing, hauling, or trail use.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.75-in. diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy-duty use.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: High-pressure gas optimization provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance in demanding environments.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-durability polyurethane material provides reduced deflection and improved responsiveness to ensure long-term pivot point reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need tools to adjust the stiffness of these shocks?
No, the 9-position knob is designed for manual adjustment by hand, allowing you to change your ride feel in seconds without any tools.

Will these shocks lift my Jeep by 2.5 inches?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-indexed to work with a Jeep that already has a 2.5-inch lift kit installed.

What is the benefit of the large 2.75-inch body?
The larger body houses more fluid, which helps dissipate heat faster than standard shocks, preventing “shock fade” during prolonged use on rough terrain.
