Description
Upgrade your vehicle’s suspension with the Skyjacker Black MAX Shock Absorber B8517. Designed with advanced foam-cell technology, this twin-tube shock absorber provides consistent performance during demanding driving conditions. The foam-cell insert compresses as the shock heats up, compensating for oil expansion and helping maintain dependable damping performance across a broad operating temperature range.
The foam-cell design also removes air from inside the shock, allowing flexible mounting orientation while reducing the risk of performance changes caused by aeration. Arc-welded end mounts provide durable attachment points, while application-specific valving is engineered to deliver controlled ride quality and reliable suspension response. The B8517 offers a practical replacement solution for drivers seeking Skyjacker quality and consistent shock performance.
This Skyjacker Black MAX shock absorber is designed for select 2012 applications, including the Ram 1500, Ram 2500, Ram 3500, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, Chevrolet Suburban 1500, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, GMC Sierra 2500 HD, and GMC Yukon XL 1500. Verify vehicle application and suspension configuration before installation. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning regarding potential exposure to chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm; visit www.p65warnings.ca.gov for more information.
