Rancho RS994152 Suspension Shock Absorber - Front

Adjustable Front Shock Absorber

The Rancho RS9000XL suspension shock absorber is built for drivers who want adjustable damping and consistent control from a single replacement part.

Key Features

• Nine levels of damping adjustment for firmer or softer ride control.
• Manual adjustment knob for quick changes without disassembly.
• Tri-tube, telescopic construction with a steel body.
• Painted finish and dual-component 2K coating for added chip resistance.
• Integrated bottom mount design for added strength.
• Boot and dust shield included for added protection.
• Fits front suspension applications on select Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs.

Detailed Description

Rancho RS9000XL shocks are engineered for drivers who need a front suspension shock absorber that can be adjusted for changing road conditions. The RS994152 combines a progressive performance design with gas charging, adjustable rebound, and loop-to-loop mounting. Its steel body, silver painted finish, and protective boot help support durability in demanding use. This part cross-references Rancho (e.g., RS999152) for the same application. Compatible with Chevrolet K1500, Chevrolet K2500, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC K1500, GMC K2500, and GMC Yukon front suspension applications, the RS994152 is a fitment-specific replacement for select 1988-2000 models.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn front shock absorber with an adjustable unit.
• Restoring ride control after loss of damping performance.
• Reducing excessive bounce, sway, or harshness in the suspension.
• Improving response for mixed on-road and off-road driving.
• Addressing leaking, noisy, or damaged shock absorber hardware.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s front suspension fitment before installation, including the loop eyelet upper and lower mounts. The RS994152 uses a telescopic shock design with center-of-loop measuring points, so matching the original mounting style is important. Check available clearance for the extended and compressed lengths during suspension travel. No mounting hardware is listed as included.

Quality Assurance

The RS9000XL line is Rancho’s adjustable shock platform, now in its fourth generation. It features a dual-component 2K paint finish and integrated bottom mounts for added durability and design refinement.
