Part Number: RS999113 / RS999115

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series delivers industry-leading versatility for the International Scout 80 and 800. Featuring a globally recognized 9-position manual tuning knob, these shocks allow owners to instantly adjust damping levels to compensate for varying terrain or load requirements. Whether navigating rugged trails or maintaining highway stability, this nitrogen-gas charged system provides the specific ride control needed for vintage utility vehicles.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning Knob: A manual adjustment dial provides nine distinct levels of damping force to ensure customized ride control for street, towing, or off-road use.
• Large Shock Body: A heavy-duty 2.75-in. diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operation during sustained cycling.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurized: High-pressure gas charge minimizes air-to-oil mixture to provide rapid response and consistent damping performance.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-durability mounting material provides enhanced road feel and longevity to ensure stable performance under heavy articulation.
