Fitment Notes

• Fits front position only; designed for 2.0-4.5 in. of front suspension lift across all supported platforms
• Dodge / Ram 2500 and 3500 (2003-2012): fits front position with 2-4.5 in. lift on solid front axle configurations
• Ford F-250 (1973-1998): covers the High Boy (1966-1977), standard 4WD, and IFS generations - verify front axle type before ordering
• Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ: fits 1993-1998 only; does not fit WJ (1999-2004), WK (2005-2010), or WK2 (2011-2021)
• Mitsubishi Mighty Max: shares suspension geometry with Dodge Ram 50 - both confirmed for B8558
• Sold individually - purchase two (2) for a complete front 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 or demanding driving conditions
• 360° arc-welded end mounts deliver superior structural strength and long-term durability
• 180° directional mounting allows flexible installation orientation across a wide variety of front 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 B8558 Black MAX Twin-Tube Shock Absorber is one of the most broadly compatible front shocks in the Skyjacker Black MAX lineup, fitting an extraordinary range of 4WD trucks, SUVs, and off-road vehicles across Chevrolet, GMC, Ford, Jeep, Dodge/Ram, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, and International - spanning model years from 1955 through 2012. Despite this breadth, B8558 is a precision-engineered, direct-fit shock for each platform it supports, dimensioned for 2.0 to 4.5 inches of front suspension lift and featuring eyelet/sleeve mounts at both ends that match the factory front shock tower geometry of every listed application. It is built around Skyjacker's Advanced Foam-Cell technology, with a Low-Pro foam insert that compensates for oil expansion under heat and hard use - sustaining consistent damping output regardless of temperature and eliminating air from the hydraulic fluid to prevent fade during extended trail, overland, or off-road sessions.

Internally, the B8558 uses vehicle-specific multi-stage StableSteer valving tuned to the front suspension demands of each platform at lifted ride heights. This calibration delivers controlled handling on pavement and confident articulation on dirt - keeping tires firmly planted and body movement predictable regardless of terrain. The chrome-plated hardened shock shaft resists corrosion and pitting to protect the seal and extend service life, while the 360° arc-welded eyelet mounts and sintered iron piston provide the structural durability demanded by daily-driven and trail-ready builds alike. DOM twin-tube construction maintains precise internal clearances for consistent, repeatable damping.

The shock is sold individually - two are required for a complete front axle upgrade. Key platform notes: the Jeep Grand Cherokee fitment is limited to the ZJ (1993-1998) and does not extend to the WJ or later platforms; the Ford F-250 High Boy (1966-1977) fitment is confirmed via the Jack-It set listing pairing B8558 with B8514 for that application; the 2003-2012 Dodge/Ram 2500 and 3500 fitment is for the solid front axle 4WD configurations. The B8558 is backed by Skyjacker's Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original retail purchaser, covering defects in materials and workmanship for as long as the purchaser owns the vehicle.
