Rancho RS9000XL 1.5-3″ Front Lift Shocks for 1947-1962 Jeep Utility 4WD

Part Number: RS999119

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series delivers industry-leading versatility for classic Jeep Utility and FJ-8A models. Featuring a 9-position manual adjustment knob, these shocks allow owners to instantly tune damping levels to suit specific driving conditions, from soft street cruising to firm load-bearing support. Engineered for vehicles with 1.5 to 3 inches of front lift, they provide a custom-tailored ride quality that modernizes vintage suspension performance.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping force to ensure the perfect balance between comfort and control.
• Large Shock Body: The increased fluid capacity provides improved heat dissipation to ensure consistent performance during extended use.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: High-pressure gas charging optimizes the relationship between the piston and oil to provide immediate response and prevent aeration.
• Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty 18mm piston rod provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure long-term seal integrity.
