Product Description

The Skyjacker B8581 Black MAX front shock absorber is designed for use on a variety of late-model full-size trucks and SUVs - including **Chevrolet and GMC 4WD trucks (1988-1998)** and **Cadillac Escalade (1999-2001)** - in stock or lightly lifted (up to about 3") front suspension setups. Its foam-cell internal technology and multi-stage valving help the shock maintain consistent damping performance under changing temperatures and driving conditions, while the chrome-plated shaft and arc-welded end mounts provide long-lasting strength and corrosion resistance. Foam-cell inserts compress to offset internal oil expansion, keeping performance stable during extended use.

Sold individually, the B8581 fits a broad range of GM trucks with 0-3" front lift heights and Escalade models at stock height. It is ideal for drivers wanting a budget-friendly replacement or upgrade shock with reliable on- and off-road performance, smoother ride control, and enhanced durability for lifted or stock suspensions. Fitment confirmed through official Skyjacker listings and trusted retailers' spec charts.
