Product Details

This is the Rancho RS9000XL strut, designed specifically for the 2004 through 2008 Ford F-150 pickup trucks. This strut is a key component in your suspension system, working to control wheel movement and absorb road imperfections. The RS9000XL series is known for its adjustable damping, allowing you to fine-tune the ride quality to your preference.

What sets the RS9000XL apart is its nine-position manual adjustment dial, which lets you change the strut's stiffness. You can set it for a softer ride on the highway or firm it up for better control when towing or hauling heavy loads. This adjustability is achieved through a well-built internal valving system that responds directly to the dial's position. The strut body itself is constructed to handle the demands of daily driving and occasional off-road use.

Keep in mind that this particular strut is available to order starting in March 2026. When you're ready to install, you'll find it's designed as a direct replacement for your factory strut, making the swap straightforward. Having adjustable damping can really change the feel of your truck, offering a more comfortable ride or improved stability when you need it most.
