Skyjacker - Nitro 8000 Series, Nitrogen Gas Charged, Shock Absorber, 19.07 in. Extended, 12.07 in. Collapsed (Part No. N8081)
DescriptionSkyjacker® Suspensions offers you a high quality shock absorber with true velocity sensitive valving. Shock absorbers, or spring dampers as it is called everywhere else except in the U.S., control the rate at which suspension springs compress and rebound. As the shock is pushed together, this is called bump or compression. As the shock expands, this is called rebound or extension. Absorbing the 'shock' of bumps and suspension loading is actually performed by the springs in the suspension. The shock's real job is controlling the energy stored in the springs.
Product Features:- Multi-Stage Velocity Sensitive Valving
- Twin Tube Construction
- 5/8 in. Diameter Hardened And Double Chrome Rod
- Red Polyurethane Bushings
- Includes Red Boot 15 Other Colors Available
from $64.99

Skyjacker - Black Max Shock Absorber, Hydraulic, Twin Tube, Black Boot, 19.07 in. Extended, 12.07 in. Collapsed (Part No. B8581)
DescriptionBlack MAX twin tube shock absorbers have increased fluid capacity and utilize foam-cell technology. When the shock is working hard and gets hot, the foam-cell insert compresses to compensate for oil expansion which maintains consistent MAX performance throughout the operating temperature range of the shock. The foam-cell design also eliminates air inside the shock which allows for mounting in any direction. Arc-welded end mounts and select specific valving give this shock absorber MAX value.
Product Features:- Advanced Foam-Cell Technology
- Vehicle Specific Multi-Stage Valving
- Increased Fluid Capacity for MAX Heat Dissipation
- 360 Degree Arc Welded End Mounts
- 180 Degree Directional Mounting
