Product Description

The Skyjacker B8556 Black MAX Shock Absorber is a versatile hydraulic twin-tube shock designed for a broad range of classic trucks, 4WDs, Jeeps, and SUVs. Featuring advanced foam-cell technology, this shock compensates for oil expansion under heat to maintain consistent damping performance between on-road cruising and off-road use. Multi-stage valving and chrome-plated components help deliver a balanced ride quality and long service life.

Fitment spans multiple applications depending on lift height and position - including front lift shocks for 1980s Ford F-250s with 5-8" lifts, front shocks for 1988-1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ with 2-2.5" lift, and rear shocks for older Ford trucks such as F-150 and F-350 with varying small lifts. The Black MAX design with 360° arc-welded mounts and a protective boot allows flexible mounting and robust performance for lifted or stock suspensions alike. Sold individually, this shock is ideal for replacing worn shocks or completing a suspension upgrade while maintaining reliable damping control.
