      Description

      Uses Innovative Foam-Cell Technology. The SkyJacker Black MAX Rear Shock Absorber makes use of advanced foam-cell technology to further improve your Jeep Cherokee XJ’s suspension performance. Each shock is fitted with foam inserts, compensating for the expansion and heating up of oil during long drives. This also eliminates air pockets, reducing shock fade and improving overall performance.

      Highly Durable Design. For increased durability, this twin-tube MAX Rear Shock Absorber from SkyJacker comes with DOM tubing and a heavy-duty compression head. This guarantees much-reduced internal wear, helping it perform at peak levels for a longer amount of time.

      Provides a Smooth and Comfortable Ride. To help guarantee a smoother and more comfortable driving experience, this SkyJacker Shock Absorber comes with StableSteer Valving. This allows it to stay in constant contact with the road, giving you improved control over your Jeep.

      Installation. Putting this rear shock on your ride is easy and requires no drilling.

      Application. The SkyJacker Black MAX Rear Shock Absorber for 1-3 in. Lift Kit fits 1984 - 2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ models.

      Nice Ride

      Definitely improved my ride; and they look great! Wish they came assembled; as we had to grind/round the edges of the pins to avoid tearing the bushing

      Not Great, Not Terrible

      Easyish install if you have grease, a vice and a mallet to press in the plastic bushings, great price. Improvement over my worn factory shocks in the front. Rear - after replacement the rear almost hits harder than before on crappy Colorado Springs city roads. It's like something is lose, except nothing is loose. Still chasing that mystery.

      Skyjacker black rear shock

      Bought these new in the box. Arrived in great shape assemble before install was simple. Install took longer then it should have not because of the shocks but because of others shoddy work.

      Excellent Ride for the price

      Honestly, I have these shocks installed all around on all 4 corners of the jeep, and they ride AMAZING. I was worried at first with buying a "budget" shock, but read other reviews online and decided to take the risk. I am glad I did! I have lifted many jeeps in my day, and the ride always sucks. These are about the same as the stock shocks, which I am really happy with. The hardest part was getting the shock boot to stay in place. Not a big issue, at all though.

      I bought two open box front Shocks. They are perfect. Great ride and even better price. I have ordered 2 for the rear to match and max the ride. Looks great also.

      Better than OEM Ride

      I have had a few wranglers in my past, all with value suspension/shocks on them. When my stock suspension finally gave out on this wrangler, I started looking for shocks. I stumbled across these and decided to give them a shot. I would have to say these are some of the best (if not the best) value shocks I have purchased in terms of ride quality and build quality. I am throughly impressed with these shocks. Definitely would recommend for all 4 corners of your Wrangler!
