Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the damping on these shocks?
The RS9000XL features a 9-position manual knob located at the base of the shock; simply turn the dial to your desired firmness level.

Will these shocks lift my Jeep?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct travel lengths for vehicles already equipped with 1.5″ to 3″ of front lift.

What is the benefit of the large 2.75-inch body?
The increased surface area and oil capacity allow the shock to dissipate heat more efficiently, preventing performance fade during extended use.
