Product Description

The Skyjacker B8525 Black Max Shock is a heavy-duty front shock absorber designed for lifted Jeep applications including Cherokee XJ, Wrangler TJ, Grand Cherokee ZJ, and Comanche MJ platforms. It is engineered to support modified suspension systems while maintaining controlled damping and ride stability across both on-road and off-road conditions.

Featuring a twin-tube hydraulic design with foam-cell technology, this shock minimizes aeration and heat-related fade during demanding driving conditions. The multi-stage valving is tuned specifically for lifted vehicles, helping improve suspension control, reduce bounce, and enhance overall ride quality in aggressive terrain or daily driving.

With an extended length of 27.07 inches and a collapsed length of 15.94 inches, the B8525 is designed to match common 3.5-5 inch lift setups depending on platform. Its durable construction, corrosion-resistant shaft, and welded mounting hardware make it a reliable upgrade for Jeep owners seeking improved suspension performance and long-term durability.
