Skyjacker B8524 Black MAX Rear Shock for 1991-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ80 4WD

Vehicle Fitment

• 1991-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ80 (4WD) - Rear | 0-2 in. Lift

Fitment Notes

• Rear position only
• Designed for use with 0-2 in. of rear lift; for lifts above 2 in., a longer-travel rear shock is required
• 4WD models only
• The FJ80 Land Cruiser was produced for the US market from 1991 through 1997; this shock covers the full production run
• Uses a Stem to Eye mounting configuration - upper mount is a stem (threaded post), lower mount is an eye (loop); verify factory mounting hardware compatibility before installation
• Sold individually - one shock per listing; factory shock mounting bolts are reused for installation

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 FJ80 Land Cruiser's rear solid axle suspension geometry for optimized ride quality and off-road control with up to 2 in. of rear lift
• Increased fluid capacity provides superior heat dissipation during sustained off-road use or long-distance driving on rough terrain
• Twin-tube construction delivers balanced, consistent damping in both compression and rebound for improved stability and a more controlled ride on and off the trail
• 360-degree arc-welded end mounts provide structural strength and long-term durability under the stress of 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 B8524 Black MAX shock absorber is engineered specifically for the rear axle of 1991-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ80 4WD models running up to 2 inches of rear lift. It is designed around the FJ80's rear solid axle suspension geometry, using vehicle-specific multi-stage valving to deliver controlled, confident damping whether you're navigating rocky trails or carrying heavy loads on the highway. The B8524 uses a Stem to Eye mounting configuration - matching the FJ80's factory upper and lower shock mount design - making it a direct-fit replacement that installs using the vehicle's existing mounting hardware.

At the core of the B8524's performance is Skyjacker's Black MAX foam-cell twin-tube design. The internal foam-cell insert compensates for fluid expansion as the shock heats up during sustained off-road use, eliminating the performance fade common in conventional hydraulic shocks. The foam-cell design also eliminates trapped air inside the shock body, allowing 180-degree directional mounting without loss of function. Twin-tube construction provides balanced compression and rebound damping, while the 360-degree arc-welded end mounts, chrome-plated piston shaft, and sintered iron piston ensure long-term structural durability even under hard off-road use. The included black dust boot protects the shaft from mud, debris, and corrosion encountered on the trail.

The B8524 is sold individually - one shock per listing - and installs using the vehicle's factory mounting hardware. For Land Cruiser FJ80 owners running more than 2 inches of rear lift, a longer-travel Black MAX rear shock is required. For front shock fitment on the FJ80 platform, reference the appropriate Skyjacker front application part number. The B8524 is backed by Skyjacker's Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original retail purchaser.
