I've got the 9000x shocks, they were replaced by those 9000xls ones. You'll love 'em.

its really easy to find if you're looking for it. two long bars that have a hex on each end. they start at the front control arms, and go back from there. look under the end closer to the rear, and one bolt will be under it, point up, and you will see something that looks exactly like the leveling/lifting keys do.
