Rancho RS9000-X Shocks

Contrary to what some shock manufacturing companies may want you to think, all vehicles are NOT created equal, and you should not have to settle for "one-size-fits-all" shock absorbers that were created for something your Jeep is not. With Rancho's innovative 9-position off-road-ready RS9000-X shocks, you can tailor the firmness of your shocks to fit your individual needs.

Race and trail proven, high quality RS9000-X shocks have evolved from the ever popular RS9000 5-position shock absorber, and offer even greater versatility with nine individual settings to choose from for each shock on your vehicle. You can even select different customized settings for the front and rear of your Jeep, all from the comfort of your driver's seat using the optional remote in-cab controller.

What makes these shocks so unique is Rancho's 9-position knob, located conveniently at the bottom of each shock. This enables the user easy access to select one firmness position for on road use, yet quickly change settings for different types of off-road use. What could be better than complete ride-quality customization at your command?

We have successfully tested these shocks on Jeep Wrangler TJ's and YJ's, Jeep Cherokees and even the big boy - the Jeep Grand Cherokee. All applications performed as well as or even better than expected, and easily outperformed competitive shocks of the same class. Tenneco Automotive has once again proven that with Rancho, you can always expect more for your money.

I think it is also important to mention that we have been using Rancho RS9000-series shocks and other products since the inception of Dirt Road Magazine almost 8 years ago, and in all that time we have NEVER had one of their products fail - ever. It is almost impossible to say that about any other product line that we have tested.
