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

Part Number: RS999118

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series provides industry-leading adjustability for classic Jeep and Toyota applications. Featuring a 9-position manual tuning knob, these shocks allow drivers to instantly transition between a soft street ride and firm control for towing or off-road excursions. Engineered to accommodate a 2.5-inch rear lift, they solve the problem of static valving by putting ride control directly in the user’s hands.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping force to ensure the perfect ride for any terrain or load requirement.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.75-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy-duty use.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: High-pressure gas optimization provides a faster response rate to ensure consistent tire-to-road contact.
• Polyurethane Bushings: Durable polyurethane material provides enhanced longevity and reduced deflection to ensure precise handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the firmness of these shocks?
These shocks feature a manual 9-position knob located at the base of the shock body. Simply turn the dial to your desired setting, with 1 being the softest and 9 being the firmest.

Do these shocks provide the 2.5 inches of lift?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-matched to be used with vehicles already equipped with a 2.5-inch rear lift kit.

Will these help with towing stability?
Yes. By increasing the setting on the adjustment knob to a higher number (7-9), you increase the damping firmness, which significantly reduces sway and “porpoising” while towing.
