The Skyjacker Black MAX Shock Absorber B8529 is designed to provide dependable control and consistent performance for compatible 1987–1996 Dodge Dakota applications. Its twin-tube construction increases fluid capacity, helping the shock manage demanding driving conditions while maintaining reliable damping performance. Select-specific valving is engineered to deliver balanced ride control and MAX value for everyday driving and off-road use.
Advanced foam-cell technology helps maintain consistent performance across the shock’s operating temperature range. As the shock absorber heats up, the foam-cell insert compresses to compensate for oil expansion, helping preserve predictable damping. The foam-cell design also eliminates air inside the shock, allowing the absorber to be mounted in any direction without compromising operation.
Arc-welded end mounts provide durable attachment points for long-term service, while the robust construction is built to withstand the demands placed on a replacement suspension component. The Skyjacker Black MAX B8529 features a 14.850-inch collapsed length, a 24.840-inch extended length, and 9.990 inches of shock travel. Verify vehicle compatibility and suspension configuration before installation.
