These are the shocks most 4WD distributors would like to see banned. Or, at least, kept under our counter in plain brown paper!
The RS9000XL is fully adjustable while mounted on the vehicle which allows drivers to easily 'dial-in' their ride for precise control in any condition. Tuning the compression and rebound damping is easily metered by manually changing the setting of the dial at the bottom of the shock.
Where is it made?
USA
What are the features?

4) Advanced tri-tube design that ensures exception performance under a full range of load and temperature conditions.
5) A micro-polished cylinder wall combined with a glass filled Teflon seal: Representing the finest of build-quality which enhances the shock's amazing durability and heat-reduction qualities.

What do people say about Rancho Shocks?
Ask Dennis Moulang. Dennis was one of our first Rancho customers. He bought a set of Rancho shock absorbers way back in 1990.
Seventeen years later those same shocks are still performing well; and the only thing they have needed is new bushes. Incredible! Especially when you learn that the Moulang’s 4WD has clocked up 400,000 kms - and has already worn out the original engine.
You can also watch below the team at The Offroad Show installing a set of Rancho RS9000XL shocks to their Jeep Wrangler.
Do I need anything else to install them?
The shocks bolt to the factory locations. For lifted vehicles it's important to check your bump stops to ensure the shocks cannot be crunched on full compression.
What is the warranty?
3 year/unlimited kilometre
What models do they suit?
Suzuki Sierra models manufactured from 1981 to 1995 fitted with leaf springs.
How much are they?
$396 a pair including delivery anywhere in Australia.
