Product Description

The Skyjacker B8543 Black Max Rear Shock is engineered for classic GM trucks and SUVs including Chevrolet and GMC C/K pickups, Blazer, Jimmy, and Suburban models from 1969-1991. It is designed to restore or improve rear suspension performance by providing controlled damping and improved ride stability for both daily driving and light off-road use.

Built with a twin-tube hydraulic design and foam-cell technology, this shock helps reduce fade under heat and repeated suspension cycles. The multi-stage valving improves control over rough terrain while maintaining comfort on paved roads. Its durable construction includes welded mounts, a chrome-plated shaft, and protective boot for long service life.

With a fitment range supporting stock height and mild lift setups, the B8543 is ideal for restoring worn factory shocks or upgrading suspension performance on classic GM platforms. It is sold individually and is intended for rear axle installation, requiring two units per vehicle.
