Fitment Notes

• This is a front shock absorber designed for stock ride height through 1.5 in. of front lift. It is not compatible with lift heights exceeding 1.5 in. front.
• Ford F-150 fitment spans all cab and bed configurations across 2WD (RWD) and 4WD from 1975-1997. Alternate fuel variants (LPG 1984-1985, Bi-Fuel 1995-1996, Diesel 1984) are confirmed supported.
• Ford Bronco II fitment covers 4WD from 1984-1990; 2WD (RWD) variants are supported 1986-1990. The DIESEL subvariant is confirmed for 1985-1986 (4WD) and 1986 (2WD) only.
• Toyota 4Runner fitment has a gap: 1986-1989 model years are NOT listed - only 1984-1985 and 1990-1995 are confirmed for this part number.
• Nissan 720 Pickup was replaced by the D21 (Hard Body) beginning in 1986; both generations are separately confirmed in the fitment list.
• Mazda B-Series trucks (B2000, B2200, B2600, B2300, B3000, B4000) share platform lineage with the Ford Ranger; fitment is confirmed independently for each model listed.
• The Mazda Navajo is mechanically related to the Ford Explorer; both are independently confirmed for this part number.
• The Honda Passport shares a platform with the Isuzu Rodeo; only the Passport is confirmed for this specific part number.
• Upper mounting style is STUD (S1); lower mounting style is EYELET/SLEEVE (ES25).
• Sold individually - two shocks required for a complete front axle replacement.

Features

• Monotube single-tube design separates oil and nitrogen gas via a floating internal piston (IFP), preventing fluid aeration and eliminating the fade that affects twin-tube shocks under heat and load.
• High-pressure 200 PSI nitrogen gas charge combined with IFP technology provides the fastest damping response in the M95 lineup, critical for trucks and SUVs navigating mixed on- and off-road terrain.
• Large 46mm bore body carries a higher volume of hydraulic fluid than narrower shock designs, delivering consistent damping force across the full 5.67 in. stroke range.
• Internal bump stop absorbs the energy of severe compression impacts, protecting the shock body and suspension components from hard bottom-outs.
• 180-degree directional mounting allows the shock to be installed in either orientation, providing flexibility to clear frame rails and steering components across the wide variety of platforms this shock supports.
• Chrome piston rod resists surface corrosion and wear, maintaining a reliable seal integrity in off-road, muddy, and wet environments across the lifetime of the shock.
• Velocity-sensitive valving automatically modulates damping resistance based on suspension movement speed for a balanced ride on pavement and composed behavior on rough terrain.
• No-fade, no-lag design maintains consistent damping output through extended off-road use or repeated compression cycles without performance degradation.
• Compact dimensions (15.69 in. extended / 10.02 in. collapsed) are specifically matched to stock-height and mildly lifted suspensions on the supported platforms.
• Backed by Skyjacker's limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the original vehicle purchaser.

Product Description

The Skyjacker M9552 is a front M95 Monotube shock absorber engineered for stock-height to mildly lifted light trucks and SUVs from the 1970s through the late 1990s. Its 15.69 in. extended length and 10.02 in. collapsed length are specifically matched to the front suspension geometry of vehicles running stock or up to 1.5 in. of front lift - the range where a factory-length shock begins to bind or over-extend on lifted applications. Built on Skyjacker's monotube IFP architecture, the M9552 uses a high-pressure 200 PSI nitrogen gas charge and a floating internal piston to keep oil and gas completely separated at all times, which eliminates the aeration and foaming that causes conventional twin-tube shocks to fade under sustained use.

With a verified fitment list spanning Ford F-150, Bronco, Ranger, F-350, and Explorer; Dodge Dakota; Toyota Pickup and 4Runner; Isuzu Pickup, Trooper, and Amigo; Nissan 720, D21, Terrano, and Pathfinder; Mazda B-Series and Navajo; Suzuki Samurai; and Honda Passport, the M9552 is one of the most widely applicable M95 monotube shocks in Skyjacker's lineup. Its large 46mm bore, velocity-sensitive valving, and chrome piston rod deliver consistent performance across all of these platforms regardless of terrain, making it an ideal upgrade over worn OEM shocks on classic and vintage 4WD builds. The upper stud and lower eyelet/sleeve mounting configuration installs using the factory shock mounting bolts, so no additional hardware fabrication is needed.

Whether you're refreshing the suspension on a classic Ford F-150, rebuilding a first-gen 4Runner, or upgrading a Dodge Dakota daily driver for light trail use, the M9552 provides a meaningful step up in damping response and heat tolerance compared to OEM and economy replacement alternatives. Sold individually - two are needed for a complete front axle replacement. Skyjacker backs the M9552 with a limited lifetime warranty for the original vehicle owner.
