Shock - Nitro 8000 - Twintube - 14.82 in Compressed / 24.84 in Extended - 2.01 in OD - Steel - White Paint - Each
Skyjacker Nitro Shock Absorber 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee (XJ)
Skyjacker(R) 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.
