Part Number: RS999159

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series provides the ultimate in ride control versatility for the Land Rover Defender 90. Featuring a 9-position manual adjustment knob, these shocks allow drivers to instantly tune their damping profile from soft to firm. Whether you are navigating technical off-road trails or maintaining stability during highway transit, this system adapts to your specific load and terrain requirements. Engineered for vehicles with 0-1 inch of lift, they provide a significant upgrade over factory damping performance.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping to ensure the driver can transition between plush street comfort and firm off-road control.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.75-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy use.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: High-pressure gas charging provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping response in demanding conditions.
• Heavy-Duty Piston: A 18mm nitro-carbonized rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability against stone chips and corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the firmness of these shocks?
The shocks feature a 9-position knob located at the base of the shock body. Simply turn the dial to your preferred setting; lower numbers are softer, while higher numbers provide a firmer ride.

Do these shocks create a 1-inch lift?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-matched for Land Rovers already equipped with 0 to 1 inch of suspension 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, which prevents “shock fade” during prolonged off-road use.
