Fitment Notes

Fits the front shock position only; all supported applications are 4WD solid-front-axle configurations - not designed for 2WD vehicles or IFS platforms
Sold individually - purchase two (2) for a complete front axle replacement
Dimensioned for trucks running 2-5 in. of front suspension lift using the stock solid front axle geometry on these squarebody-era platforms; the eyelet/sleeve mount matches the original shock mounting hardware throughout the 1967-1991 model range
The Chevrolet K-series designation (K10/K20/K30) was used through 1987; the V-series designation (V10/V20/V30 → V1500/V2500) succeeded it from 1987-1991 on the same platform with the same front shock geometry - the H7051 covers both naming conventions
The GMC K15/K25/K35 designations (1967-1978) and K1500/K2500/K3500 designations (1979-1986) refer to the same platform with re-badged model names; all share the same front shock mounting geometry
The 1987 transitional model year includes both old (K-series) and new (V-series) badges on the same platform; both are supported
Factory mounting hardware is reused; all necessary washers, bushings, and nuts are included with the shock

Features

True velocity-sensitive hydraulic valving adapts damping resistance to actual suspension speed in real time - delivering firmer control over sharp, fast impacts and compliant absorption of gradual road inputs without any manual adjustment
Orifice disk design ensures optimal hydraulic fluid flow through the full range of suspension speeds, providing consistent damping response on paved roads, dirt trails, and moderate off-road terrain
Leak-proof hydraulic seal construction minimizes maintenance requirements and extends service life across the demanding operating conditions of these heavy-duty truck platforms
Bonded iron piston provides superior strength and durability over the long service intervals associated with these classic GM trucks
Chrome-plated piston rod resists corrosion, pitting, and surface degradation, protecting the hydraulic seal integrity and maintaining consistent damping performance over time
Distinctive red protective boot shields the shock shaft from road debris, mud, dust, and moisture - a Hydro 7000 series signature
Eyelet/Sleeve upper and lower mount design is a direct match for the front solid-axle shock mounting geometry used across the entire 1967-1991 Chevrolet/GMC K-series and V-series squarebody platform
Backed by Skyjacker's Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship

Product Description

The Skyjacker H7051 Hydro 7000 is a front shock absorber purpose-built for the classic Chevrolet and GMC 4WD squarebody truck platform spanning 1967 through 1991 - one of the most widely owned and restored vintage truck platforms in existence. The fitment covers the full range of K-series (K10/K20/K30 half-ton through one-ton) and the later V-series (V1500/V2500/V3500) designations across both Chevrolet and GMC nameplates, including all Suburban and Blazer/Jimmy SUV variants on the same solid front axle architecture. The identical eyelet/sleeve shock mounting geometry used across this entire 25-year production span allows the H7051 to serve as a single front shock solution for squarebody builders running 2 to 5 inches of front lift.

The Hydro 7000 is a non-gas-charged hydraulic shock using an orifice disk and true velocity-sensitive valving. Damping resistance adjusts in real time based on suspension speed - relaxed over small, slow road inputs and progressively firmer over large, fast impacts - delivering a more controlled and compliant ride than fixed-orifice OEM-replacement shocks. The bonded iron piston and chrome-plated shaft are built for the long service intervals common on these trucks, and the leak-proof hydraulic seal maintains consistent performance without gas-charged sensitivity to temperature or altitude. The distinctive red protective boot, a Hydro 7000 series signature, guards the shaft from the trail debris and road grime these trucks regularly encounter.

All installation hardware - washers, bushings, and nuts - is included; factory mounting bolts are reused. Sold individually - two are required for a complete front axle upgrade. Backed by Skyjacker's Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original retail purchaser.
