Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series provides the ultimate in ride control versatility for your classic Jeep or AM General utility vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the firmness of these shocks?
The RS9000XL features a manual 9-position knob located at the base of the shock body; simply turn the dial to increase or decrease damping resistance.

Do these shocks provide the 2.5 inches of lift?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-indexed to work with a vehicle that already has a 2.5-inch suspension lift installed.

Are the protective boots included?
Yes, this set includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rod from debris and contaminants.
