Skyjacker B8575 Black MAX Front Shock for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 6-7in Lift

Vehicle Fitment

• 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 2-Door (Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, X - 4WD) - Front, 6-7 in. Lift
• 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited 4-Door (Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, X - 4WD) - Front, 6-7 in. Lift

Fitment Notes

• Fits front position only; designed specifically for 6-7 in. of front suspension lift on the JK platform
• Fits both the 2-Door JK and 4-Door JK Unlimited - front shock geometry is identical across both body configurations
• Upper mount is a Stem style; lower mount is an Eyelet/Sleeve - verify compatibility with your specific lift kit hardware before ordering
• This is the tallest Black MAX front shock option available for the JK; it pairs with the Skyjacker B8587 (rear, 6-7 in.) to form a complete front-and-rear shock set at this lift height
• Does NOT fit Jeep Wrangler TJ (1997-2006) or YJ (1987-1995) - separate part numbers apply for those platforms
• Does NOT fit Jeep Wrangler JL (2018-present) - the JL uses different front suspension geometry; this shock is JK-specific only
• Note: The 2018 model year saw both JK and JL production; this shock fits the 2018 JK only, not the 2018 JL
• For lower front lift heights on the JK: B8501 (0-1 in.), B8535 (1-3.5 in.), B8565 (4-5 in.)
• 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 calibrated to the JK front coil-link suspension geometry at 6-7 in. lift - maximizes tire-to-road contact for improved stability, handling, and traction on- and off-road
• Increased fluid capacity for maximum heat dissipation during sustained trail, rock-crawling, or extended off-road use at this aggressive lift height
• 360° arc-welded end mounts deliver superior structural strength and long-term durability under extreme flex and articulation
• 180° directional mounting allows flexible installation orientation
• 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 mounts provide rattle-free, precise fitment
• Backed by Skyjacker's Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship

Product Description

The Skyjacker B8575 Black MAX Twin-Tube Shock Absorber is the tallest front shock in Skyjacker's Black MAX JK lineup, purpose-engineered for the 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK running 6 to 7 inches of front suspension lift. At 26.31 inches extended and a 10.92-inch stroke, the B8575 delivers the additional front travel required by aggressive JK builds running long-arm, aftermarket coil, or highly modified suspension systems at this lift height range - where the shorter lower-lift shocks in the range (B8535, B8565) would over-extend and sacrifice both ride quality and component longevity. It fits both 2-Door and 4-Door JK Unlimited configurations across all 4WD trim levels.

Built on Skyjacker's Advanced Foam-Cell technology, the B8575 uses a Low-Pro foam insert that compensates for oil expansion as the shock heats up during hard trail and rock-crawling sessions - maintaining consistent damping output throughout the operating temperature range and eliminating air from the hydraulic fluid to prevent fade. Vehicle-specific multi-stage StableSteer valving is calibrated to the JK's front coil-link geometry at 6-7 inch lift heights, keeping the Dana 30 or Dana 44 front axle planted and predictable across technical terrain while delivering composed handling on paved roads. The Stem upper mount and Eyelet/Sleeve lower mount match the standard JK front shock mounting geometry for a direct bolt-on installation using factory hardware.

For a complete JK shock upgrade at 6-7 inches of lift, the B8575 pairs directly with the Skyjacker B8587 (rear, 6-7 in.) - forming a matched front-and-rear damping set at this lift configuration. Skyjacker's full JK front shock lineup progresses in four ranges: B8501 (0-1 in.), B8535 (1-3.5 in.), B8565 (4-5 in.), and B8575 (6-7 in.), enabling precise length and valving matching to the actual lift height in use. The 2018 fitment applies to 2018 JK production only - the Wrangler JL launched concurrently in 2018 and is not compatible. Each shock is sold individually; two are required for a complete front axle upgrade. Backed by Skyjacker's Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original retail purchaser.
