What is foam-cell technology and why does it matter?

Foam-cell technology is an insert within the shock absorber that compresses when the internal fluid heats up and expands. This helps maintain consistent shock performance even under heavy use and high temperatures. It also allows the shock to be mounted in any orientation.

Does this shock absorber come with mounting hardware?

This product listing is for the shock absorber itself. Mounting hardware, such as bushings or bolts, is typically sold separately. Please refer to your vehicle's service manual or consult with a professional for specific hardware requirements.

What is the benefit of arc-welded end mounts?

The 360-degree arc-welded end mounts create a very strong and durable connection point for the shock absorber. This ensures the shock stays securely in place during operation and can withstand the stresses of driving.

About this part

Product Details

This Skyjacker Black Max shock absorber is built for your 1997-2003 Ford F-150 4WD. It's designed to handle the demands of the road and keep your ride stable. You get one shock absorber in this package, featuring a chrome-plated shaft and arc-welded end mounts for solid connections.

What sets this shock apart is its foam-cell technology. When the shock heats up from working hard, this foam-cell insert compresses to manage the fluid expansion. This means the shock maintains its performance consistently, no matter how hot it gets. Plus, because it eliminates air inside, you can mount it in any direction, giving you more flexibility during installation. The twin-tube construction and vehicle-specific valving are also key to its reliable operation.
