Skyjacker 1994-2001 Ram 1500 2WD Black Max 8500 Shock Absorber w/ Black Boot

Black 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.

Special Note for Dodge Ram (Classic/DT/DS)

Since Dodge/Ram manufacturered concurrent Ram 1500, 2500 & 3500 models on both new and old body designs, please ensure you select the parts to suit the correct submodel. The year alone may not always be a reliable way to verify your submodel in the case of some Rams, so we encourage you to double check if you have the Classic, or the new shape when making orders for parts that are not the identical between both styles.
