The Rancho RS999311 is a performance-oriented rear shock absorber from the RS9000XL series, engineered to enhance ride quality, control, and durability for Nissan Frontier trucks running a stock rear suspension setup. This adjustable shock delivers nine levels of damping control so you can fine-tune the ride to match driving conditions—from smooth highway cruising to rugged off-road terrain—with simple, manual adjustment. The gas-charged twin-tube design minimizes shock fade and maintains consistent performance under load, while a robust body with corrosion-resistant finish and protective boot improves longevity. Built with heavy-duty components and OE-style mounting, the RS999311 installs directly into the rear suspension with no modifications required, making it an excellent upgrade for daily drivers, weekend adventurers, and trucks equipped with mild front lift setups. Backed by a Rancho limited lifetime warranty, this shock offers customizable performance, improved stability, and enhanced handling for your Frontier.
