How’s the customer feed back been on these shocks?
Im really curious about the ease of reaching and adjusting the dial?

I have the Rancho 2" sport lift and the 9000XL shocks. I crawl slightly underneath the Jeep to adjust. I bought this adjustment tool, and it is awesome: https://www.ebay.com/itm/265183521892

I am very happy with the lift and shocks so far. I also have Rancho's front and rear adjustable track bars and Geo correction brackets.

Good to hear, thanks for the tip on purchasing the adjustment tool…Seems like a simple tool like that would be included with new shocks…🤔

Well I can offer a review - it's not on the JL unfortunately but it will speak to quality and performance.

I run the RS9000's on my Tahoe along with a 2/1 level. I installed them in April of 2019 so i'm over the two year mark now. My overall experience has been great. I did have one shock spring a leak about a month after install, which was alarming. But Rancho overnighted me a replacement...and it was a rear so very easy swap-out, I actually had the new one in place just under 24 hours from the time I noticed the leak. Pretty impressive. On the Tahoe, the rears are very easy to adjust, however the fronts have to be done blindly...you can reach the dials but you can't see them so you have to count the clicks.

If I remember correctly my current setting is 6F/5R...but the Tahoe is over 1000lbs heavier than the Wrangler so I doubt those numbers will help anyone here. On the Tahoe, the best range is like 3-7...less than three gives a super soft but bouncy ride and more than 7 gets way harsh when unloaded.

@RanchoShocks Hi, I'm looking to upgrade the shocks on my 2022 Wrangler JLU High Tide. This has the XE package with 1.5" (?) lift and 35" tires from the factory. Which 9000 series adjustable shocks will work for the front and rear? I'm just looking for better dampening and perhaps a little less body roll if possible.

Based on my research it looks like the RS999065 front and RS999066 rears would be pretty close to what the stock shocks (68546612AC front and 68546613AB rear) are in terms of min, max and stroke.

I'm not planning on and drastic changes down the road. If I add a new front bumper/winch I might add a .5" -1" spacer depending how much sag results from the added weight.

Thanks!

OK, just pulled the trigger and ordered these through Summit Racing. Looking forward to getting them installed and trying them out.
