What is foam-cell technology and how does it help?

Foam-cell technology is an insert within the shock absorber that compresses when the shock fluid heats up and expands. This helps maintain consistent shock performance by managing fluid expansion and preventing air from entering the system, allowing for mounting in any direction.

Does this shock absorber come with mounting hardware?

This product listing is for the shock absorber itself. It is recommended to check the manufacturer's installation instructions or consult with a parts specialist to confirm if any specific mounting hardware is included or if it utilizes the original hardware from your vehicle.

What is the warranty on this Skyjacker shock absorber?

This Skyjacker Black Max shock absorber comes with a limited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer. Specific terms and conditions apply, so it's always a good idea to review the warranty details provided by Skyjacker.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to replace the worn-out shocks on your 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ, this Skyjacker Black Max shock absorber is a solid option. It's built to handle the demands of daily driving and off-road adventures, helping to keep your ride comfortable and controlled.

This shock absorber uses a twin-tube construction with increased fluid capacity. A notable feature is its advanced foam-cell technology. When the shock heats up from working hard, this foam-cell insert compresses to manage the oil expansion, which helps maintain consistent performance even when the shock gets hot. This design also means you can mount the shock in any direction, making installation more flexible. The end mounts are arc-welded for strength, and the valving is specifically tuned for the Grand Cherokee to ensure it works well with your vehicle's suspension.

You'll find a chrome-plated shaft for durability and a sintered iron piston inside. Skyjacker backs this shock with a limited lifetime warranty, giving you peace of mind.
