Installed on my little 4runner about a month ago.

They say:
Rancho's RS9000 shocks have a 9-position knob on the shock body that lets you adjust compression and rebound damping for precise ride control.

Other features include:

* Tri-lube, mono-flow, cellular gas design
* 15-stage valving
* Variable Force Control for precise oil-flow metering
* 1 3/8 in. piston
* Graphite-impregnated Teflon® band
* 5/8 in. hardened and chromed piston rod
* Double-welded mounting loops with bright red urethane bushings
* Red convoluted boot to protect the shaft

I say:

Good ride and does well off road. Handles small jumps and whoops GREAT! As for the adjustable valving it is my opinion it is a gimmick or I'm just not sensitive enough to detect the differences when I change the setting.

There was no instructions included in the packaging as to how to tune or set the valve.

I've been running the 9000 series on my 84 for years, they do the job they're supposed to do.
The adjustable valving isn't a gimmick, it has it's uses, just maybe not for everyone.
