RS999067

Overview:

The Rancho RS9000XL Shock Absorber is a premium, nine-position manually adjustable suspension component designed to deliver superior ride control and performance for Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator models from 2018 through 2024. Engineered for both on-road comfort and off-road capability, these shocks provide drivers with the flexibility to fine-tune damping settings to match varying terrain and driving conditions. Whether towing, hauling, or tackling rugged trails, the RS9000XL offers enhanced vehicle control, durability, and a smoother ride experience.

Ideal for stock or lifted Jeeps, these shocks are built to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations and demanding use, making them a reliable upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved suspension performance without compromising daily drivability.

Key Features:

Rancho’s RS9000XL shocks incorporate advanced technology and robust construction to ensure lasting performance and adaptability:

• Nine-position manually adjustable knob allows precise damping control for customized ride firmness on- and off-road.
• Up to 2.75-inch tri-tube body filled with all-weather fluid ensures cooler operation and consistent performance across -40°F to 248°F temperature range.
• Application-specific 18mm nitro-carburized piston rod resists scuffs and corrosion for enhanced durability.
• Double-welded loops at stress points and a 1.25-inch sintered iron piston provide superior structural integrity.
• Low-friction, self-lubricating seal retains gas and oil to promote quicker rebound and smoother compression.
• Polyurethane rebound bumper and bushings combined with graphite-filled fluon-banded piston absorb harshness and improve responsiveness.
• Nitrogen gas pressurized to 120 PSI minimizes air-to-oil mixture, reducing damping fade and foaming during extended use.
• Premium liquid metallic finish and polyvinyl protective boot extend shock life by resisting corrosion and debris damage.
• Recognized as the first nine-position manually adjustable shock series in the off-road market.

Construction & Design:

The RS9000XL shocks feature a rugged tri-tube design tailored specifically for Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator applications. The 18mm nitro-carburized piston rod enhances resistance to wear and corrosion, critical for off-road environments. Structural reinforcements such as double-welded loops and a sintered iron piston ensure the shock withstands heavy loads and rough terrain without compromising integrity.

Internally, the shocks utilize a low-friction, self-lubricating seal system that maintains optimal gas and oil retention, enabling rapid rebound and smooth compression cycles. The all-weather fluid inside the tri-tube body maintains consistent viscosity across extreme temperatures, ensuring reliable damping performance regardless of climate or driving conditions.

Installation & Fitment:

Designed as a direct replacement for front shocks on Jeep Wrangler models from 2018 to 2024 and Jeep Gladiator models from 2020 to 2024, the Rancho RS9000XL requires no modifications for installation. The shocks fit stock and lifted suspensions alike, making them a versatile upgrade for a wide range of Jeep configurations. Installation can be completed with standard hand tools and basic mechanical knowledge, though professional installation is recommended for optimal results.
