The Skyjacker Black MAX Shock Absorber, part number B8526, is designed to deliver consistent damping performance for select 2006-2010 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 applications. Its twin-tube construction provides increased fluid capacity, while advanced foam-cell technology helps maintain dependable performance when the shock absorber operates under demanding conditions. This makes it a practical replacement for drivers seeking improved control and durable suspension performance.
The foam-cell insert compresses as the shock heats up, compensating for oil expansion and helping maintain consistent operation throughout the shock’s working temperature range. The design also eliminates air inside the shock absorber, allowing flexible mounting orientation without compromising performance. Select-specific valving is engineered to match the application, supporting controlled suspension movement and a more stable ride.
Skyjacker builds the Black MAX B8526 with arc-welded end mounts for added strength and durability. It features a collapsed length of 11.520 inches, an extended length of 18.300 inches, and 6.780 inches of shock stroke. Confirm vehicle application and installation requirements before ordering. This 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.
