What does velocity-sensitive valving do?

Velocity-sensitive valving means the shock absorber automatically adjusts its damping force based on how quickly your suspension is moving. This helps provide a more controlled ride over different road surfaces and speeds.

What is the purpose of the shock absorber rod and boot?

The shock absorber rod is the main moving part that compresses and extends. The hardened and double chrome plating on this rod improves its durability. The included boot helps protect the rod from dirt and debris, which can extend the life of the seal.

Does this shock absorber come with all necessary hardware for installation?

This shock absorber includes red polyurethane bushings for mounting. However, it's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's installation instructions or consult with a professional to confirm if any additional hardware, like mounting bolts or brackets, is needed for your specific vehicle.

About this part

Product Details

When you're tackling a suspension rebuild or just replacing worn-out shocks on your truck, controlling the energy stored in your springs is key to a comfortable and stable ride. This Skyjacker Hydro Shock Absorber is built to do just that, managing how your suspension compresses and extends to absorb the impact of bumps and road imperfections.

This shock absorber features a twin-tube construction and a multi-stage, velocity-sensitive valving system. What that means in practice is it adjusts its damping force based on how quickly the suspension is moving, offering a more controlled feel over varying road conditions. It's well-built with a 5/8-inch diameter hardened and double chrome rod for durability, and it comes with red polyurethane bushings for solid mounting. A red boot is included to help protect the rod, though other colors are available if you want to customize the look.

This shock absorber fits a wide range of trucks from the late 70s through the early 90s, including popular models like the 1987 GMC V1500 and 1989-1991 Chevrolet V1500 Suburban. It's a solid option for restoring your vehicle's original ride quality.
