Construction & Design:

The RS9000XL shock absorber features a robust tri-tube design tailored to withstand the rigors of off-road driving and heavy-duty use. Its integrated bottom mounts provide enhanced structural integrity, reducing flex and improving durability under load. The shock body is coated with a dual component 2K paint finish, which not only delivers a premium look but also offers exceptional resistance to chipping and corrosion.

Inside, the shock utilizes low-friction, self-lubricating seals that maintain internal gas and oil pressure, ensuring rapid rebound and smooth compression cycles. The polyurethane rebound bumper and bushings work in tandem with a graphite-filled fluon-banded piston to absorb impacts and reduce harshness, resulting in a refined ride quality across diverse terrains.

Designed as a direct replacement for the rear shocks on 1993–1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 1997–2006 Jeep Wrangler models, the Rancho RS9000XL installs with standard tools and requires no special modifications. Its integrated mounting points align with factory locations, making installation straightforward for professional mechanics and experienced DIYers alike. Adjustments to damping firmness can be made on the fly via the easy-to-use knob, allowing drivers to fine-tune suspension settings without removing the shock.
