Description of Rancho RS999001 RS9000XL Series Shock

NINE LEVELS OF PERFORMANCE -- Nine-position easy-to-adjust knob allows customized damping control and firmness for on-road and off-road flexibility. DESIGNED FOR HARDWORKING VEHICLES -- Ideal for stock or lifted trucks, SUVs and Jeeps that tow, haul or go off road. INDUSTRY FIRST -- Recognized as the first nine-position manually adjustable shock series in the off-road market. REDUCES FADE -- Nitrogen gas pressurized to 120 PSI to minimize air-to-oil mixture and reduce damping performance fade and foaming. STRONG AND DURABLE -- Features an application-specific 18mm nitro-carburized piston rod to resist scuffs and corrosion, double-welded loops at stress areas and 1.25-in. sintered iron piston for enhanced structural integrity. HANDLES EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES -- Up to 2.75-in. tri-tube body (application specific) filled with all-weather fluid allows for cooler operation, increased vehicle control and ability to withstand internal temperatures of -40 to 248°F. SMOOTH PERFORMANCE -- Polyurethane rebound bumper and bushings and graphite-filled fluon-banded piston help absorb ride harshness and enhance responsiveness to changing road conditions for an overall smoother ride. BUILT TO LAST -- Low-friction, self-lubricating seal retains gas and oil for quicker rebound and smoother compression while the long-lasting premium liquid metallic finish and polyvinyl protective boot ensures long life.

Not worth the investment

As a POTENTIAL automotive buyer, i was hesitant to purchase these shocks. As a result of my tests, I determined that they did not live up to the hype. Although the price may seem reasonable, the performance was lackluster. The only upside was the ease of installation. However I can't justify spending money on a product that doesn't improve my driving experience. Overall, I would not recommend these replacement parts for anybody searching for quality struts and suspension..

Pros
  • Adjustable settings for personalized ride comfort and handling
Cons
  • May require professional installation for proper set-up and performance

Amazingly Smooth Ride!

As my tests showed, the shocks provide an incredibly smooth ride, even on rough terrain .The adjustability of these shocks is also a huge plus, allowing for personalized suspension tuning. The only downside is that they are a bit pricey compared to similar options on the market..

Pros
  • Adjustable damping allows for customization of ride comfort and handling
Cons
  • Expensive compared to other shock options on the market

Like a new ride!

I installed them on my 1997 GMC Suburban K1500 SLT with the 2" level kit and wow! I had the stock Monroe shocks and they got pretty bumpy when I hit bumps on the 60-80 mph (Arizona) freeway. I had time to put them on and took them for a test run. 20 miles and 80 mph felt like 60! I put mine on 5 and it was a great trip! I'll play around with the settings to see what I like best, but these American dampers are worth the money! I can't wait to see how they feel when I take my camper!

Pros
  • Replacement parts
Cons
  • Alright
