• Low-Friction, Self-Lubricating Seal: Retains gas and oil for quicker rebound and smoother compression, improving ride quality and shock longevity.
• Polyurethane Rebound Bumper and Bushings: Absorb ride harshness and improve responsiveness to changing road conditions.
• Graphite-Filled Fluon-Banded Piston: Reduces friction inside the shock for smoother operation and enhanced durability.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: Maintains 45 or 60 PSI to minimize air-to-oil mixture, reducing damping fade and foaming during extended use.

Construction & Design:

The RS9000XL features a rugged tri-tube body tailored specifically for the Ram 1500’s rear suspension requirements. Its all-weather fluid and nitrogen gas pressurization ensure consistent damping performance even under extreme temperature fluctuations. The shock’s self-lubricating seal system reduces internal friction and prevents gas and oil leakage, contributing to quicker rebound and smoother compression cycles.

Rancho’s dual component 2K paint finish not only enhances corrosion resistance but also provides a bold, attractive look that resists chipping from road debris and off-road obstacles. Integrated bottom mounts add structural integrity, making the shock well-suited for heavy-duty applications and lifted vehicle setups.
