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

Foam-cell technology uses a special insert that compresses as the shock absorber heats up. This compensates for oil expansion, maintaining consistent performance and preventing air from entering the shock, which allows for mounting in any direction.

This shock absorber is designed as a direct replacement and typically uses the original mounting hardware. Please refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details on what is included.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to replace the shocks on your truck or SUV, the Skyjacker Black Max shock absorber is a solid option. This shock is built with a twin-tube construction and features increased fluid capacity, which helps dissipate heat effectively. This is especially important when you're working your vehicle hard, as it helps maintain consistent performance throughout the operating temperature range.

A notable feature is the advanced foam-cell technology. This insert compresses as the shock heats up, compensating for oil expansion and preventing air from entering the system. This means the shock can be mounted in any direction without losing performance. The B8583 also includes vehicle-specific multi-stage valving for a tailored ride, and its end mounts are arc-welded for added strength. The chrome-plated shaft adds durability and a clean look.

This shock absorber fits a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs from the 1970s through the late 1990s, including popular models like the 1988-1998 Chevrolet K3500, 1992-1994 Chevrolet Blazer, and 1989-1991 Chevrolet R1500 Suburban. It's designed to be a direct replacement, making installation straightforward.
