Product Description

The Skyjacker B8523 is a Black MAX Series foam-cell twin-tube shock absorber covering a wide range of classic Jeep, Ford, GMC, and Suzuki platforms running light to moderate lift setups. Its foam-cell insert compensates for oil expansion under heat, keeping damping performance consistent where standard twin-tube designs fade. Multi-stage StableSteer valving ensures predictable handling and tire-to-terrain contact across varied off-road conditions and lift heights.

With ES25 upper and lower mount codes and 360-degree arc-welded end mounts, installation uses factory OEM mounting hardware across all supported applications. The chrome-plated shaft, sintered iron piston, and 22.58 in. extended / 13.71 in. collapsed dimensions make the B8523 a versatile fit for lifted CJs, YJs, XJs, ZJs, Comanches, and more. Backed by Skyjacker's Limited Lifetime Warranty, it's a proven upgrade for any of these platforms.
