Fitment Notes

• Fits rear position only; designed for 4.5-8 in. of rear suspension lift across all supported platforms
• This is the rear companion shock to the Skyjacker B8558 (front); both share the same Chevy/GMC and Ford platform coverage, but B8560 is the longer-stroke rear unit
• Ford F-150 rear fitment spans 1980-2016, covering both the OBS (1980-1996) and the 1997-2016 SVT/Heritage/Raptor-excluded generations; does not fit F-150 Raptor
• Ford F-250 / F-350: legacy body-on-frame (1980-1997/98) and Super Duty (1999-2016) generations are both supported in the rear position
• Toyota Land Cruiser: fits FJ40 and FJ55 series (1967-1984, 4WD) - does not fit the FJ60/62/80 or later Land Cruiser generations
• Toyota Pickup (1980-1983): the pre-Hilux Surf generation; does not extend to the 1984-1995 Pickup or 1995.5+ Tacoma
• Mazda B2300/B3000/B4000 are the Ranger-based compact trucks sharing Ford Ranger rear suspension geometry - confirmed for rear position
• Sold individually - purchase two (2) for a complete rear axle replacement
• Reuses factory shock mounting hardware; no additional brackets required

Features

• Advanced foam-cell technology uses a Low-Pro foam insert that compresses during oil expansion, maintaining consistent damping performance across the full operating temperature range
• Foam-cell design eliminates air inside the shock body, allowing mounting in any direction without performance loss or cavitation
• Vehicle-specific multi-stage StableSteer valving maximizes tire-to-road contact for improved stability, handling, and traction on- and off-road
• Increased fluid capacity for maximum heat dissipation during sustained off-road, overland, or towing use at high-lift configurations
• 360° arc-welded end mounts deliver superior structural strength and long-term durability
• 180° directional mounting allows flexible installation orientation across all supported rear suspension configurations
• Chrome-plated hardened shock shaft resists pitting and corrosion, extending seal life and overall shock service life
• Sintered iron piston and heavy-duty compression head minimize internal wear for an extended service life
• Twin-tube construction with DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) tubing maintains tight tolerances for consistent damping output
• Durable corrosion-resistant black coating over heavy-duty steel shock body
• Black polyurethane bushings at both eyelet/sleeve mounts provide rattle-free, precise fitment
• Backed by Skyjacker's Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship

Product Description

The Skyjacker B8560 Black MAX Twin-Tube Shock Absorber is the rear companion to the B8558, sharing the same broad platform coverage across Chevrolet, GMC, Ford, Toyota, and Mazda 4WD trucks and SUVs - but purpose-built for the rear axle at aggressive lift heights of 4.5 to 8 inches. At 29.83 inches extended and 12.53 inches of stroke, it is one of the longest-travel shocks in the Black MAX lineup, providing the additional rear compression and rebound travel demanded by high-lift suspension builds on these platforms. GM coverage spans the full 1967-1991 K-Series and V-Series lineup - from the classic 1967 K10 and K20 pickups through the Blazer, Jimmy, and both K and V designation Suburbans. Ford coverage is equally comprehensive, running from the 1970 F-100 all the way through the 2016 F-150, F-250 Super Duty, and F-350 Super Duty in the rear position - making this one of the few Black MAX shocks that bridges the classic-era, OBS, and modern Super Duty generations in a single part number.

Built on Skyjacker's Advanced Foam-Cell technology, the B8560 uses a Low-Pro foam insert that compensates for oil expansion as the shock heats up under sustained off-road, overlanding, or towing conditions - sustaining consistent damping output regardless of operating temperature and eliminating air from the hydraulic fluid to prevent fade during hard use. Vehicle-specific multi-stage StableSteer valving is calibrated to the rear suspension geometry of each supported platform, keeping tires firmly planted on uneven terrain while delivering stable, controlled ride quality on road. Chrome-plated shaft, 360° arc-welded eyelet/sleeve mounts, sintered iron piston, and DOM twin-tube construction bring the same durable hardware package found across the Black MAX 8500 series.

Toyota fitment includes the classic FJ-series Land Cruiser (1967-1984) and the 1980-1983 Pickup - note that Toyota coverage does not extend to the 1984-1995 Pickup or 1995.5+ Tacoma. Mazda B-Series fitment (1994-1997) covers the Ranger-platform compact trucks sharing Ford's rear suspension geometry. The shock is sold individually - two are required for a complete rear axle upgrade. It mates directly with the B8558 front shock on all shared GM and Ford platforms, making the B8558/B8560 pair a natural full-axle solution for builders running 4.5-8 inch lift kits on these trucks. Backed by Skyjacker's Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original retail purchaser.
