Product Description

The Skyjacker B8585 Black MAX Shock Absorber is engineered specifically for 1988-1999 Chevrolet and GMC 4WD trucks and full-size SUVs running 4 to 6 inches of front lift on IFS platforms. Covering C/K 1500, 2500, and 3500 pickups as well as the Blazer, Suburban, Jimmy, and Yukon, this shock uses Skyjacker's foam-cell twin-tube design to deliver consistent, fade-resistant damping under both daily driving and demanding off-road conditions. The foam-cell insert actively manages oil expansion as the shock heats up, keeping performance steady where standard hydraulic shocks would begin to fade.

Installation is bolt-on straightforward - the B8585 reuses your existing factory mounting hardware and includes all necessary washers, bushings, and nuts for the job. The chrome-plated shaft and black protective boot guard against trail debris and corrosion, while the increased fluid capacity keeps temperatures in check during hard use. Backed by Skyjacker's Lifetime Warranty, the B8585 is a proven, value-driven front shock upgrade for lifted GM truck and SUV owners on IFS platforms.
