Rancho RS994265 RS9000XL Front Shock Absorber 9-Way Adjustable 15.28" Extended

The Rancho RS9000XL RS994265 is a front shock absorber engineered for trucks, SUVs, and Jeeps that demand versatile, on-demand ride control. With a compressed length of 11.18 inches, an extended length of 15.28 inches, and a shock stroke and travel of 4.1 inches, this unit is precision-built to deliver consistent damping performance across a wide range of driving conditions.

Key Features:

• 9-Position Adjustable Damping: Simple turn-knob adjustment delivers up to a 400% change in damping control from setting 1 (soft, OE-like ride) through setting 9 (firm, ideal for towing and heavy loads)
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: Pressurized to minimize air-to-oil mixture, reducing performance fade and foaming during demanding use
• Oversized Tri-Tube Body: Up to 2.75-inch diameter body increases fluid capacity and dissipates heat for cooler, more consistent operation
• Heavy-Duty 18mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: Provides enhanced scuffing resistance and corrosion protection for long service life
• Graphite-Filled Fluon-Banded Piston: 1-1/4-inch diameter sintered iron piston improves strength, structural conformity, and smooth operation
• Polyurethane Bushings and Rebound Bumper: Red polyurethane bushings absorb ride harshness and enhance responsiveness to changing road conditions
• Low-Friction Self-Lubricating Seal: Retains gas and oil for quicker rebound and smoother compression cycles
• Polyvinyl Protective Boot Included: Shields the shock rod and oil seal for extended durability
• Premium Liquid Metallic Finish: Long-lasting exterior finish resists corrosion and wear
• Sold Individually

The RS9000XL is globally recognized as the first 9-position manually adjustable ride control series in the off-road market. It is ideal for stock or lifted trucks that tow, haul, or go off-road, and is engineered and manufactured in the U.S. This shock is designed to be installed rod-up and body-down. Settings 1–3 replicate a stock OE feel, 4–6 provide a slightly firmer response, and 7–9 deliver maximum firmness for towing and heavy hauling. Covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty for standard applications.
