Rancho RS9000XL 2.5″ Lift Shocks for 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra

Part Number: RS999188 / RS999116

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series provides unparalleled versatility for the Nissan Xterra enthusiast through its industry-leading 9-position manual tuning system. This complete set of four shocks allows owners to instantly transition from a soft street ride to a firm, controlled damping profile required for heavy towing or off-road excursions. Engineered to accommodate a 2.5-inch lift, these shocks solve the compromise between daily drivability and trail-ready performance by putting ride control directly in the user’s hands.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine levels of damping force to ensure custom-tailored ride control for various loads and terrains.
• Large Shock Body: The 2.75-in. diameter heavy-duty body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operation and consistent performance during aggressive use.
• Nitro-Carburized Rod: A specialized 18mm piston rod coating provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-performance polyurethane material provides enhanced responsiveness to ensure reduced deflection and improved steering feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the firmness of these shocks?
Each shock features a 9-position knob located at the base of the shock body, allowing you to manually click through settings from soft to firm without tools.

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

What is the benefit of the larger 2.75-inch body?
The increased surface area and oil volume allow the shock to remain cooler under stress, preventing the “fade” or loss of damping common during extended off-road use.
