The Skyjacker Black Max B8583 is a twin tube shock absorber for the GMC Jimmy, C25/C2500 Suburban, C15/C1500 Suburban and other vehicles listed in the fitment table. A foam-cell insert compresses as the oil heats and expands, keeping damping consistent across the shock's operating temperature range, and it can be mounted in any direction.
Part number: B8583
Skyjacker black shock absorber.
Black MAX twin tube shock absorbers have increased fluid capacity and utilize foam-cell technology. 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.
Shocks are matched to a ride height range — confirm the lift height on the vehicle before ordering.
Use the vehicle selector to confirm your exact year and configuration.
