Discover how to install Rancho 9000X shocks!
This is what your new Rancho 9000X Pro Series Remote Reservoir Shocks will look like right out of the box. As you can see, it will come complete with all the hardware you need to install them including polyurethane piggyback cushions and clamps. The rear pair of Rancho 9000X shocks might come compressed and bound with a wire. If this is the case with the ones you got, use a pair of pliers to remove the wire now. Place the 2 red polyurethane piggyback cushions on the side of your Rancho 9000X shock can, place the aluminum remote reservoir on top of them and then slip on the 2 metal clamps over both the shock and reservoir as shown in this pic.
Use a flathead screw driver to tighten up the metal piggyback cushion clams to secure the aluminum remote reservoir to your Rancho 9000X shocks. Because the Rancho 9000X shocks are adjustable, this step is not necessary but to get things going, I decided to set my front pair of shocks to a medium 5 and the rears to a soft 3. Starting up front, use a 16mm wrench, hold your Jeep JK Wrangler’s shock can in place just below the upper shock mount to keep it from spinning. Then, remove the stud mount nut above using a using a 16mm GearWrench. NOTE: While it is not necessary to remove your Jeep’s tire to do this install, it will help give you more room to work with.
Using an 18mm socket and wrench, remove the bolt and nut securing your Jeep JK Wrangler’s front shocks to the lower axle mount. Take one of the large washers that comes with your Rancho 9000X shocks and slip it onto the stud mount with the concave side facing up as shown in this pic. Next, slide one of the red polyurethane bushings that comes with your Rancho 9000X shocks onto the stud mount and on top of the washer you installed. Slip the Rancho 9000X shock stud up into your Jeep JK Wrangler’s upper shock mount, slide on another red polyurethane bushings and then cap it off with another one of the large washers concave side pointing down.
