• 1986-1995 Toyota Pickup Standard Cab (4WD) - Front | 0-2 in. Lift
• 1986-1995 Toyota Pickup Extended Cab (4WD) - Front | 0-2 in. Lift
• 1993-1998 Toyota T100 (4WD) - Front | 0-2 in. Lift

Fitment Notes

• Front position only - for rear fitment on these platforms, reference the appropriate Skyjacker rear Black MAX part number
• Designed for use with 0-2 in. front lift applications; for lifts above 2 in., a longer-travel shock is required
• Fits 4WD models only across all listed applications
• Toyota Pickup refers to the first-generation Tacoma predecessor (sold as "Pickup" through 1995); does not fit the Tacoma (1995+)
• T100 fitment covers 1993-1998 4WD only; the T100 was discontinued after 1998 and replaced by the Tundra
• Sold individually - one shock per listing

Features

• Advanced foam-cell technology compensates for oil expansion as the shock heats up under load, maintaining consistent MAX damping performance across the full operating temperature range
• Foam-cell design eliminates trapped air inside the shock body, enabling 180-degree directional mounting flexibility
• Vehicle-specific multi-stage valving calibrated to the Toyota IFS (Independent Front Suspension) platform for optimized ride quality and off-road control
• Increased fluid capacity provides superior heat dissipation during extended trail use or sustained off-road driving
• Twin-tube construction delivers balanced, consistent damping in both compression and rebound for improved handling and stability
• 360-degree arc-welded end mounts provide structural strength and long-term durability under lifted suspension geometry
• Chrome-plated piston shaft resists corrosion and reduces internal wear for extended service life
• Sintered iron piston ensures precise, consistent fluid control and long-lasting seal integrity
• Black protective boot included to shield the shaft from trail debris, mud, and moisture
• Backed by Skyjacker's Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original retail purchaser

Product Description

The Skyjacker B8502 Black MAX shock absorber is engineered for the front axle of 1986-1995 Toyota 4Runner and Pickup (Standard and Extended Cab) 4WD models, as well as 1993-1998 Toyota T100 4WD trucks. It is designed for use with 0 to 2 inches of front lift, making it the correct choice for stock-height to mildly lifted builds on these platforms. Each B8502 is tuned with vehicle-specific multi-stage valving matched to Toyota's IFS front suspension geometry, delivering confident damping performance whether you're navigating rocky trails or cruising on the highway with larger tires.

The Black MAX foam-cell design is at the core of the B8502's performance advantage. As the shock heats up during demanding use, the foam-cell insert compresses to compensate for oil expansion - preventing the fade and inconsistency that can occur in conventional hydraulic shocks under sustained off-road stress. The elimination of trapped air also allows the shock to be mounted in any direction without performance loss. Twin-tube construction provides a balanced, controlled damping profile, while the 360-degree arc-welded end mounts, chrome-plated piston shaft, and sintered iron piston collectively ensure long-term durability across demanding trail conditions.

The B8502 is sold individually - one shock per listing - and includes a black protective boot to guard the shaft from mud, debris, and moisture common in off-road environments. It is backed by Skyjacker's Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original retail purchaser. For 4WD Toyota owners running more than 2 inches of front lift, a longer-travel Black MAX shock is required. For rear shock fitment on the same platforms, reference the appropriate Skyjacker rear application part number.
