Construction & Design:

The RS9000XL is engineered with a robust tri-tube design that provides superior heat dissipation and fluid capacity, ensuring consistent damping performance even under extreme temperature fluctuations. The shock’s piston rod undergoes nitro-carburizing, a specialized hardening process that enhances resistance to wear and corrosion, critical for off-road durability. Structural reinforcements such as double-welded loops at high-stress areas and a heavy-duty sintered iron piston contribute to the shock’s toughness and longevity.

Attention to detail extends to the internal components, where low-friction seals and graphite-infused pistons reduce internal resistance, resulting in smoother shock action and improved ride quality. The exterior is protected by a premium liquid metallic finish and a polyvinyl boot that shields the shaft from dirt, debris, and moisture, further extending the shock’s service life.

Installation & Fitment:

The Rancho RS9000XL Shock Absorber is designed as a direct fit replacement for a wide range of Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator models, including popular trims such as Rubicon, Sport, Sahara, Willys, and more from 2018 through 2024 for Wranglers and 2020 through 2024 for Gladiators. Installation requires no special modifications, making it suitable for both stock and lifted vehicles. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper adjustment and optimal performance.
