Rancho RS90000XL 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1997-2001 Mercury Mountaineer

Part Number: RS999229

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series provides unparalleled control for your Mercury Mountaineer by utilizing a 9-position manual adjustment knob. This Tier 2 adjustable shock allows drivers to instantly toggle between a soft street ride and a firm setting for improved stability during towing or hauling. Engineered to fit stock height applications, these shocks solve the compromise between comfort and performance by putting damping control directly in the user’s hands.

Features

• MyRide 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine levels of damping control to ensure the vehicle is perfectly tuned for any terrain or load requirement.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.75-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy-duty use.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: High-pressure gas charging provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance under rapid cycling.
• Heavy-Duty Piston: A 1.375-inch sintered iron piston provides structural integrity and increased surface area to ensure precise valving response.
• Protective Boot: A durable poly-vinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal protection from road debris.

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 your preferred setting.

Will these shocks lift my Mercury Mountaineer?
No, these shocks are configured for a 0-inch lift and are designed to replace factory-length dampers at stock height.

What is the benefit of the large 2.75-inch body?
The larger body houses more fluid, which helps dissipate heat faster, preventing “shock fade” during prolonged use or heavy loading.
