Please answer the following questions before adding to cart to help us provide you with customized for your specific vehicle.
Dial-in the ride comfort of your truck or SUV with a simple knob turn, or even push of a remote. Rancho RS9000X Shocks boast 9 levels of compression and rebound damping, giving you the most versatile driving experience possible.
At the base of each Rancho RS9000X Shock is an easy-turn dial. Start at position 1 for smooth highway cruising. Hit the middle at spot 5 for a balanced everyday mix of pavement, rough road and trail driving. Or, crank your RS9000X Shocks up to 9 for responsive dampening that's ready to rock off-road. They're quick to adjust manually; or, change front and rear on the fly with Rancho's in-cab remote system.
Rancho builds their RS9000X Shocks to last. An advanced tri-tube design holds more fluid. Chromed 5/8" heavy-duty rods. Double-welded loops with red urethane bushings. And, protective red boots. What's even better, your Rancho RS9000X Shocks carry a Lifetime Warranty.
Our 90+ Rancho RS9000XL Shocks customer reviews have an average rating of 4.50 out of 5 stars. To see specific reviews about your vehicle, please select your year, make and model from the drop down above.

I replaced a set of KYB's with these. After I lifted my front with a 2" t-bar crank the KYB's rode way too harshly (which is what a t-bar crank will do). I must say that these shocks brought my ride quality back to better than stock. No more teeth cracking front end hits. Very pricey shock but worth the money overall. And when I hall a trailer or have a load of wood in my truck I just turn up the adjusters. Darn good shock.

Overall a good package and a good value. I feel like the proportions of compression and rebound damping are slightly off. Front, not enough compression damping when the rebound is just right. The rear is highly oversprung, since it's a heavy hauler, so no major critique there. The ride when unloaded is good when the rear is turned down to "2" of 9. So, front, low speed damping insufficient, high speed damping too high for good ride quality.

Shocks were received in four business days and easily installed in about an hour with the help of my son. No instructions received, but really don't need them, they only go on one way and can easily be determined by the overall shock position and adjustment knob. These replace my Ranch 5000 series, which in my estimate are too light for the F350 series, especially if you are carrying heavy loads or heavy towing.

This things are amazing I put them in my 2002 2wd suburban and they ride really nice. Only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the knob is really hard to turn and numbers are hard to read. I have to squeeze pliers in there to turn the knob so maybe a switch with better leverage would be nice. But over all great ride and would recommend

I have a 1999 F350 powerstroke and purchased 4 of the RS9000XL. The shocks seem to perform great once I was able to get the front shocks mounted.The problems I had with the front shocks was that there was a metal sleeve in the top hoop that should have been in the bottom hoop of the shock.We called Rancho direct who told us this was a manufacturing defect and to send them back.This just takes extra time while your waiting for return authorization and the new shocks to be shipped out.

I put 2 of these on the back of my F350 diesel for when I tow a 5 ton trailer and have to say, the adjustable shocks are nice to crank up when I have a load on the truck and crank down when I am not towing to soften the ride and you do notice when they are cranked down. Great product and I have been letting friends know about these shocks and website.

I'm not sure I understand as it is not addressed specifically. I have a 2002 Nissan Xterra XE 4WD. It has 235K miles but looks like it only has 60K on it as it is in great shape. I purchased it from a friend who seemed to take care of the vehicle, but the shocks are severely overdue for replacement. I'm looking for a suspension upgrade and while I spend most of the time on pavement, I would like to be able to do some light off-roading with no problems in performance. The truck is bone stock in terms of mechanical parts, so will these shocks work with an UN-LIFTED truck? Please and thank you!
Answered by Nathan S. — Mar 04, 2013 8:01 AM
Hi, The actual body of the shock is longer to accept a 2.5" lift. Using it on a stock-height truck could result in damaging the shock absorber.

I have a 2003 Mitsubishi Montero sport and I am interested in rancho suspension 9000 adjustable shock - is there a cross reference? I can’t find it at your site. Thank you
Answered by Elizabeth C. — Aug 03, 2012 2:07 PM
Hey Jordan. I currently do not offer an adjustable shock for your 2003 Montero Sport. I am Sorry. I carry the Bilstein HD and Gabriel Ultra brand shocks. The Bilstein being the better of what I have to put on your Montero. There is no cross reference for this vehicle. Thank you for your question.

Depending on the individual specifications of your truck such as 2WD/4WD, with out without quadrasteer and if its a 1500 or 2500, we can determine which shocks will fit your truck. Please select your vehicle information above. If you have any questions or need help finding the ideal shock absorbers, feel free to call us or speak to one of our live chat agents.

Can you please clarify - Are these shocks used for the rear or the front or both? In the shopping cart it says "Single Front Shock - Vehicles With Front Stock Height". On the Product page it doesn't say anything about whether these are universal or they're just for the front. Thanks
Answered by Michael K. — Feb 02, 2012 3:59 PM
Hi Mike, these shocks are not universal, they are front and rear specific, and sold separately. Also, for your Frontier, we only have the fronts.

Do the offer the Rancho RS9000 for a 4" lift on a 1994 toyota pickup?
Answered by Jordan C. — Nov 02, 2010 1:37 PM
Hey Ryan, I dug through the catalogs, but there are no RS9000 options for your pickup with a 4" lift. However, there are Nitro 8000 Shocks that'll work with your rig's lift. You can check them out here: http://www.autoanything.com/suspension-systems/61A2624A0A0A2049450.aspx
