Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series delivers industry-leading versatility for the classic Jeep DJ5 (US Postal FJ-9) through its signature adjustable damping technology. Featuring a 9-position manual tuning knob, these shocks allow drivers to instantly transition from a soft street ride to a firm setting for heavy cargo or towing. Engineered to accommodate a 2.5-inch rear lift, they provide the necessary travel and damping control to modernize the ride quality of your vintage utility vehicle.
Features
- MyRide 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping resistance to ensure the perfect ride feel for any load or terrain.
- Large Shock Body: A heavy-duty 2.75-in. diameter body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operation and consistent performance during repetitive cycling.
- Nitrogen Gas Charged: High-pressure gas charging provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and fade-free damping.
- Protective Boot: A heavy-duty red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a shield for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.
