Rancho RS9000XL 2-3″ Front Lift Shocks for 1971-1980 International Scout II
Part Number: RS999115
Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series provides industry-leading versatility for classic International Scout owners looking to balance street comfort with off-road capability. Featuring a global-first 9-position manual tuning system, these shocks allow you to adjust damping levels to compensate for varying loads, towing requirements, or terrain changes. Whether you are navigating a highway or a rugged trail, this Tier 2 adjustable solution ensures your vehicle maintains optimal ride control and stability.
Features
- 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping to ensure the driver can transition from a soft street ride to a firm off-road setting.
- 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 displacement provides immediate response to road imperfections to ensure consistent tire-to-ground contact.
- Protective Boot: A heavy-duty polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.

Why Choose This Product?
- Engineering Advantage: Unlike standard fixed-rate shocks, the RS9000XL utilizes a liquid-phosphor finish and a massive 18mm nitro-carburized rod for superior structural rigidity and corrosion resistance.
- Performance Benefit: The ability to “dial in” your ride means you no longer have to compromise between a stiff ride when empty and a “floaty” ride when loaded.
