Description of πŸ”§ RS9000XL RS999260 Shock Absorber by Rancho

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 248Β°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.

Fits perfectly. Good adjustment.

Perfect for my 2000 Jeep GC as a replacement for the stock pistons. Easy to set to 7 out of 9 for daily hard road driving. It takes 10 seconds for everyone to adjust to 2 or 4 Offroad :-) And the white and red is a good contrast to the black Duco :-)

Pros
  • STRONG AND DURABLE – Featuring a custom 18mm nitrocarburized piston rod that resists abrasion and corrosion, double welded in stress areas and is 1.25" in diameter. Sintered iron pistons for increased structural integrity
Cons
  • Zero

2 fingers up! good for shocks

So far, so good! Replaced the KYB gas-a-just kit which felt too harsh and stiff for me. Installation on my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ was very easy and only took about 45 minutes for a couple. I have the setting set to #4 and they feel great. As for durability, only time will tell, but for this initial period of use I'm quite satisfied. The price seemed a bit high at first, but upon closer inspection these dampers offer excellent value for money. Would I buy again = YES Would I recommend = YES

Pros
  • REDUCES DAMAGE -- Nitrogen gas is pressurized to 120psi to minimize air/oil mixture and reduce damping and foaming
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Worst shock absorber I have ever owned

These shock absorbers are terrible. First, right out of the box, the handle is so hard to turn that it looks like it's about to snap off. After a year of use, whenever the temperature dropped below 32 degrees, one of the grips broke off and one of the shock absorbers froze. The result is a very springy, muddy, and unsafe ride. I've since bought another shock to replace the one that froze and when it froze for the first time this year both froze so I paid $450 for a set of shocks that lasted a…

Pros
  • FIRST IN THE INDUSTRY -- Recognized as the first line of 9-position manually adjustable shock absorbers in the off-road market
Cons
  • Easily torn
