The Skyjacker Black MAX Shock Absorber B8551 is designed to provide consistent damping performance for compatible Chevrolet Blazer and K10 Pickup applications. Its twin-tube construction features increased fluid capacity and advanced foam-cell technology, helping the shock maintain dependable operation during demanding driving conditions. The foam-cell insert compresses as the shock heats up, compensating for oil expansion and supporting consistent performance across a broad operating temperature range.
The foam-cell design also eliminates air inside the shock absorber, allowing flexible mounting orientation without compromising operation. Select-specific valving is engineered to provide controlled suspension response, while arc-welded end mounts add strength and durability for long-term service. This combination makes the Black MAX a practical replacement shock absorber for drivers seeking improved ride control and reliable suspension performance.
The Skyjacker B8551 fits select 1969–1974 Chevrolet Blazer models and 1967–1970 Chevrolet K10 Pickup models. Verify vehicle year, model, suspension configuration, and application details before ordering. This product carries a California Proposition 65 warning: Cancer and/or other reproductive harm.
