Detailed Description

Rancho RS999264 is a front suspension shock absorber for 2000-2005 Ford Excursion and 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty models with raised front height. It is specified for front applications with 4 inches of lift on the Excursion and 2.5-4 inches of front raised height on the Super Duty trucks. The RS9000XL platform uses manual adjustment to change ride control settings, making this shock a practical choice for owners who want to fine-tune front suspension response for load, road, and terrain conditions. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 7186054) for the same application.

Common Uses

• Front-end control on lifted Ford Excursion, F-250 Super Duty, and F-350 Super Duty builds
• Reducing excessive bounce after bumps or dips
• Improving stability during towing or hauling
• Addressing worn front shock performance on high-mileage trucks
• Restoring consistent damping on raised-height suspension setups

Installation Notes

Verify front suspension lift height before ordering, since this shock is listed for specific raised-height applications only. Confirm upper and lower mount styles match the vehicle’s existing hardware and compare compressed and extended lengths to the current suspension travel. Part number RS999264 is a front-position shock absorber, so installation should follow the vehicle’s front suspension layout and service procedures.

Quality Assurance

Rancho RS9000XL shocks are part of a long-running adjustable ride control line recognized for manual damping adjustment in off-road and towing applications. RS999264 is built to the published dimensions and mount specifications for the listed Ford applications.
