Rancho RS9000XL RS999267 Suspension Shock Absorber

The media could not be loaded. A Video is worth a thousand words.........I replaced all 4 on a 2005 Excursion 4X4, this review is my experience on that application. The main selling point for me on these shocks is the adjustability. I was springing for new shocks and I didn't want to invest a bunch of money for a ride that I didn't completely like. These shocks are infinitely adjustable, on the Excursion you can make it ride like a truck or ride like a cadillac. Also, I occasionally do heavy tows. This shock allows you to stiffen the rear, so that trailers are more stable and then soften the rear so your 3rd row seat passengers don't hit the ceiling when going over bumps.ProsAdjustableBetter Damping than StockPoly BushingsNoticeable ride improvementConsAppearance - Bright Silver and Red - Loud if you're going for a stealth lookAdjustment knob is hard to turn

I bought these front and rear for my 2005 Excursion that I also added F350 springs to front and rear. I love the adjustability of these. When empty I have a harder time telling the difference, but on the first heavy tow I hooked up went a few miles down the road and remembered I had these shocks still set on 5... I pulled over and maxed the rears to 9 and instantly the ride with heavy tongue weight was so much better. I just hope they last.

I used these shocks on my 2004 FordF350 Powerstroke. I've tried all adjustment settings and they feel like I continue to bounce down the road several feet after hitting bumps. Currently on setting 10 front and back. Any softer and they feel too soft. Maybe these were designed for lighter trucks? I hate the ride and don't recommend for this type truck!DennisGilbert, AZ

I ordered front (RS999267) and rear (RS999273) shocks for my 2004 diesel F250 4x4. I started with the front mostly due to feedback from the reviews. Easy to replace, took 30 minutes per side mostly due to removing the tire. Then the back... which were super easy... 15 minutes per side, no need to remove tires or spare. I did use a board and floor jack to lift the frame up 4-5 inches to make it easy... don't lift tires from ground, as you lift under hitch it raises the frame nicely and gives you plenty of room to work. One shock opened was an apparent return, it was missing paperwork and a tie wrap. Not a big deal however shock 4 as i was putting it on was was to be bad. I had to remove the end i had already put on, put an old shock back on the truck, and contact the company for replacement. That took 5 days to receive and me contacting the company several times to get the bad one returned as they fouled up the paperwork twice. Finally everything done only for them to look cheap and crappy with a tie wrap on each shock to hold the rubber boot on. The red rubber boot is slit on two sides on the bottom to fit around the shock and a black tie wrap is placed around it to hold it in place. Very visible and looks CHEAP! Not very professional and takes away the happy proud feeling i have when looking at my truck.

Item fit perfect have only driven a few miles on setting 4 for every day driving goes well with the airbags in the back.

Fits my '02 Excursion 4x4 perfectly. Easy install, and took a truck with 120K miles and made it ride like new again. Definitely worth the money. The adjustments really do work. If you have a '99-02 excursion, couple these shocks with the '03 axle stops (direct fit) and you will thank yourself!

Im going to say considering Monroe owns Rancho and that ive been a bilstin man on all my other trucks... the RS9000xl surprised me in a good way I have them on my 04 f-350 (seteing 3 frount) 5 rear and she rides like a caddy!! on pavement havnt played in the mud too much yet ill keep you updated. the adj knob seems fragile and is tough to move but I set and forget I am sure most will

Plastic adjusters stopped working shortly after installing. Shock itself seemed good
