Skyjacker N8047 Nitro 8000 Rear Shock 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma 4WD 0-1in Lift

Vehicle Fitment

• 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma - 4WD | Rear | 0-1 in. Lift
• 1984-1989 Toyota Land Cruiser (BJ71) - 4WD | Rear | 0-1 in. Lift
• 1961-1993 Dodge Ram 2500 - 4WD | Rear | Stock / Low Lift (paired application with N8038 front)
• Multiple additional classic truck and 4WD platforms | Front or Rear | 0-1 in. Lift - confirm your specific application via Skyjacker's official fitment chart before ordering
• Note: This shock serves both front and rear positions depending on the platform. Position and lift height vary by year and model. Always verify your exact application before ordering.
• Note: The Toyota Tacoma 4WD application (1995-2004) is confirmed as a rear shock at 0-1 in. lift. For the 2-4 in. lift Tacoma application, use N8027 instead.

Features

• 150 PSI nitrogen gas-charged pressure actively prevents fluid aeration and fade, maintaining consistent damping performance across varied terrain and temperature ranges
• True velocity-sensitive valving automatically adjusts damping resistance in real time based on suspension input speed - providing smooth, controlled response at any pace on or off-road
• Twin-tube construction with multi-stage valving provides a stable secondary fluid chamber for consistent compression and rebound throughout the full 8.78 in. stroke
• Oversized bonded iron piston head delivers precise fluid displacement and smooth damping force, improving on factory shock performance for both street and trail use
• 5/8 in. diameter hardened, double-chrome piston rod resists corrosion, bending, and surface wear under sustained off-road and daily driving conditions
• Leak-proof seal and orifice disk design prevents fluid bypass and supports extended service life across a wide range of platforms and conditions
• Red polyurethane bushings at both upper and lower Eyelet/Sleeve mount points deliver superior vibration isolation and durability versus OE rubber bushings
• Red protective boot included to shield the piston rod from mud, gravel, debris, and moisture during trail and street use
• Internal rebound bumper prevents metal-to-metal contact at full droop under aggressive articulation
• Bolt-on installation - mounts directly to factory shock locations using factory mounting hardware with no modification required
• Shock must mount body-down - mandatory installation orientation for correct function and longevity
• Limited Lifetime Warranty backed by Skyjacker's SkyArmor Plus supplemental warranty program

Product Description

The Skyjacker N8047 is a Nitro 8000 Series twin-tube, 150 PSI nitrogen gas-charged shock absorber designed for stock to mildly lifted 4WD applications, most prominently confirmed for the 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma 4WD as a rear shock at 0-1 in. of lift, and for the 1984-1989 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ71 4WD as a rear shock at the same lift range. It also serves as a rear shock on classic Dodge Ram 2500 4WD applications from 1961-1993, and as a front shock on various additional classic truck platforms at stock ride height. The nitrogen gas charge works to prevent fluid foaming and damping fade during sustained use, while the velocity-sensitive valving continuously adjusts to terrain and speed inputs for a stable, composed ride whether you're commuting or wheeling.

At approximately 22.58-22.71 in. extended and 13.71-13.93 in. collapsed with an 8.78 in. stroke, the N8047 is sized for stock-height and lightly lifted applications across its confirmed platforms. Eyelet/Sleeve mounts at both upper and lower attachment points allow clean bolt-on installation with factory hardware and no modification. The oversized bonded iron piston, 5/8 in. double-chrome piston rod, and leak-proof orifice disk seal deliver reliable damping across the full service life of the shock. Red polyurethane bushings and an included protective red boot guard the shock against vibration and contamination.

For the Toyota Tacoma 4WD specifically: this shock (N8047) covers 0-1 in. rear lift. If your Tacoma has a 2-4 in. rear lift, use N8027 instead. Because N8047 serves both front and rear positions depending on the platform, always verify your specific application - including year, make, model, drivetrain, and current lift height - against Skyjacker's official fitment chart or a trusted retailer's compatibility tool before ordering. Sold individually; order two for a full axle replacement.
