Part Number: RS999119

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series delivers industry-leading versatility for the 1981 Jeep Scrambler / AM General FJ-8A. Featuring a signature 9-position manual tuning knob, these shocks allow drivers to instantly adjust damping levels to match specific terrain or load requirements. Whether you are navigating off-road trails or maintaining a vintage postal fleet, this Tier 2 adjustable solution provides the precise ride control needed to eliminate the compromises of traditional fixed-rate shocks.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping to ensure custom-tailored ride quality for street, towing, or off-road use.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: High-pressure gas charging provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during rapid cycling.
• Large Shock Body: A heavy-duty 2.75-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
• Protective Boot: A durable poly-vinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure seal longevity against road debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the firmness of these shocks?
The RS9000XL features a manual dial located at the base of the shock body. Simply turn the knob to your desired setting, with 1 being the softest and 9 being the firmest.

Do these shocks provide the 1.5 inches of lift?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-matched to work with vehicles that have 0 to 1.5 inches of front lift height installed.

What is the benefit of the larger shock body?
The 2.75-inch body holds more hydraulic fluid than standard shocks, which helps dissipate heat more efficiently and prevents “shock fade” during heavy use.
