Product Description

The Skyjacker 8009 is a Black MAX HD OEM Replacement Steering Stabilizer Kit engineered as a direct bolt-on upgrade for the factory steering stabilizer position on 1984-2006 Jeep Wrangler (YJ/TJ/LJ), Cherokee (XJ), Grand Cherokee (ZJ), Comanche, and Wagoneer 4WD models. It is the black-body version of the Hydro 7000 kit PN 7009, delivering the same vehicle-specific damping in a blacked-out finish. The short black-body 8400BS cylinder uses velocity-sensitive hydraulic damping to control road harshness, bump steer, and the shimmy that develops with larger tires and lifted Jeep setups.

The 8009 features a notably compact hardware package - just two black hourglass bushings, a tapered stud, and one ES24 sleeve - reflecting the simpler mounting geometry of these classic Jeep platforms. The replacement cylinder for this kit is PN 8400, which is specific to this application and different from the PN 8000 used in most other Black MAX kits. Backed by Skyjacker's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
