Product Description

The Skyjacker B8527 Black MAX Twin-Tube Shock Absorber is a direct-fit rear shock designed to restore or enhance ride quality on a wide range of GM, Dodge, and Toyota trucks and SUVs spanning several decades. Built around Skyjacker's proprietary Advanced Foam-Cell technology, the B8527 features a Low-Pro foam insert that compresses during oil expansion under heat and heavy use - maintaining consistent damping output throughout the shock's full operating temperature range. The foam-cell design also eliminates air from the fluid, which allows the shock to be mounted in virtually any orientation while preventing fade during prolonged off-road or towing demands.

Inside, the B8527 uses vehicle-specific multi-stage StableSteer valving that is tuned to the exact rebound and compression characteristics of each supported platform. This results in maximum tire-to-road contact, reduced body roll, and a controlled, confident ride whether you're on paved highway or washboard trail. The chrome-plated shock shaft resists pitting and corrosion to protect the seal and extend the service life of the unit. The 360° arc-welded eyelet end mounts and sintered iron piston are engineered for long-term durability, while the DOM twin-tube body maintains tight internal tolerances that factory-style shocks rarely achieve at this price point. Black polyurethane bushings at both mounts deliver a rattle-free installation with factory-style feel.

Installation is straightforward using your vehicle's existing factory hardware - no additional brackets or adapters are required. The shock is sold individually, so purchase two for a complete rear axle refresh. Note that Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 models equipped with factory Auto Ride suspension are not compatible. For GMC Yukon XL 1500 fitment (2007-2018), this shock is confirmed for the rear position on vehicles with 0-1 inch of rear lift (2WD and 4WD). Whether you're replacing worn-out factory dampers on a classic Dodge 4x4 or upgrading the rear suspension on a lifted Tacoma PreRunner, the B8527 delivers Skyjacker's proven performance and is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original purchaser.
