Skyjacker 1979-1986 GMC K2500 Pickup Steering Damper Kit

This Skyjacker steering damper kit, part number 8055, is built with a black finish and is designed to fit a wide range of trucks and SUVs from the 1970s and 1980s, including models like the 1979-1986 GMC K1500 and 1975-1986 Chevrolet K5 Blazer. It functions as a dampening shock specifically for your steering stabilizer system. Replacing a worn-out stock unit with this kit can make a noticeable difference in how your vehicle handles, especially if you've added larger tires and wheels.

The primary job of this steering damper is to absorb the jarring impacts and vibrations that can travel up the steering column. This helps to reduce that unsettling 'shimmy' that larger tires can sometimes cause, and it also smooths out the harshness you might feel from uneven road surfaces. By taking some of the strain off your steering system, it can also lessen driver fatigue on longer trips, making it easier to keep larger tires pointed where you want them. It's an inexpensive way to improve your control and comfort on the road.
