Funny, I just ordered the adjustable Rancho XL9000 yesterday. RS999113 and RS999118 for the "little cruiser" '69 FST.
Thought I was only going to replace the brittle and missing bushings on the old Rancho 9000 "5 speed" adjustable shocks but after pulling them I figured some new dampeners would be justified.
The adjustable range on the ranchos is quite large and handy for varied loads and roads. From empty topless roadster to heavy loaded work tractor.
FWIW, since I just measured the old and spec'd the new:
old front 9113 13" to "20"
old rear 9125 14 1/4" to 22 1/2"
new front 999113 13.28" to 20.03"
new rear 999118 14.32" to 22.28"
Cheers,
Jim
