Product Description

The Skyjacker B8517 Black MAX rear shock absorber is a direct-fit performance replacement designed to improve ride control and damping on light trucks and 4x4 pickups. Featuring advanced foam-cell technology, this shock compensates for internal oil expansion as temperatures rise, helping maintain consistent performance and reducing fade under load. The twin-tube hydraulic design and multi-stage valving balance comfort and control for both on-road cruising and moderate off-road use.

Built with a chrome-plated piston shaft and arc-welded end mounts, the B8517 is rugged enough for lifted applications and daily use alike. Its 180° directional mounting allows flexible installation orientation, and the black protective boot enhances durability against the elements. This shock fits a wide range of trucks, including Chevy and GMC 1500, 2500, 3500 models with moderate lift heights, and many Dodge Ram trucks from the 1990s to late-2000s.
