Product Details

Rancho RS9000XL shocks are part of the RS9000XL product line, known for manually adjustable damping that lets you change rear shock response based on load and driving conditions. The Rancho RS999208 uses a rear-specific fitment with a loop bushing lower mount and stem upper mount, making it a practical replacement for vehicles that need controlled rear suspension performance without changing the vehicle’s original layout. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Compatible With 1998 Toyota Land Cruiser, rear; 1990-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser, rear; and 1996-1997 Lexus LX450, rear. For shoppers searching for a rear shock absorber for 1990-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser or a rear shock for 1996-1997 Lexus LX450, the RS999208 matches the listed applications and mounting style.

Common Uses

• Replacing a worn rear shock absorber on a Toyota Land Cruiser or Lexus LX450
• Restoring rear suspension control after ride quality becomes loose or unsettled
• Improving damping response for towing and loaded driving
• Addressing rear-end bounce, sway, or excessive oscillation over uneven roads

Installation Notes

Verify rear fitment by year, make, and model before installation. Confirm the lower loop bushing mount and upper stem mount match the vehicle’s original shock configuration, and compare compressed length, extended length, and travel length to the existing part. The included dust shield helps protect the shock body during service, and the RS9000XL adjustment should be set to the desired ride control position after installation.
