What is foam-cell technology and why is it important?

Foam-cell technology uses a foam insert inside the shock absorber. This insert compresses to manage oil expansion when the shock gets hot, ensuring consistent performance and preventing fade during hard use.

Can I mount this shock absorber at any angle?

Yes, the foam-cell design eliminates air inside the shock, which allows it to be mounted in any direction without affecting performance.

What makes the valving 'vehicle-specific'?

Vehicle-specific valving means the shock absorber's internal settings are tuned to match the weight and suspension characteristics of the specific truck models it fits, providing a more tailored ride.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to replace worn-out shocks on your truck, this Skyjacker Black Max shock absorber is a solid option. It's built to handle the demands of daily driving and occasional off-road use, helping to keep your ride stable and comfortable. This shock absorber fits a range of vehicles, including popular models like the Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, and Isuzu i-280.

What sets this shock apart is its foam-cell technology. When the shock heats up from working hard, the foam-cell insert compresses to manage the oil expansion. This means you get consistent performance, no matter how hot things get. It also eliminates air inside the shock, so you can mount it in any direction, which makes installation a bit more flexible. The twin-tube construction, arc-welded end mounts, and vehicle-specific valving all work together to give you a well-built shock absorber that offers good value.

You'll also find a chrome-plated shaft for durability and a sintered iron piston. These shocks are designed to fit right and provide a noticeable improvement in ride control over stock, worn-out units.
