Description of ๐Ÿ’ฏ Experience Superior Performance with Rancho RS9000XL RS999208 Shock Absorber

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 248ยฐF. 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.

Simply the best spare parts memory

This is not really an overview. This is one of the last things my uncle asked me to do before he died, although he liked it very much. He was very interested in cars. So if he likes it. It should be good.

Pros
  • Shock absorbers
Cons
  • Some problems

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good shock and great customer support from Rancho

I have used these ranchos on a land cruiser. They allow multiple adjustments. Once on the Land Cruiser they really needed to be adjusted properly. I contacted Rancho and they sent a new adjustment knob and hardware that required removing the old knob and plate and putting the new one on. As long as you have access to the shock on the car, all you have to do is remove a few bolts and then attach the new plate and knob to the shock. After the upgrade I was happy with the damper setup.

Pros
  • Automotive

  • Really don't like it, everything is fine

Do not buy these shock absorbers!

The quality of these shock absorbers is unacceptable, unsafe and cannot be installed. The threaded rod on the piston skirt is painted at the factory. On both shock absorbers, the threaded part was welded to the piston at an angle. The "adjustable" handlebars did not affect compression or rebound when riding by hand like it might once installed on your car. There was so much paint on the threaded end of the piston that the washers that came with it couldn't get the shaft in place. The suppliedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Shocks, Struts and Suspension
Cons
  • Expensive

Just a reminder of Shocks

This isn't really a review. This is one of the last things my uncle asked me to do before he died, although he liked it very much. He was very interested in cars. So if he likes it. It should be good.

Pros
  • Shocks
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
