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.

Skyjacker Black Max Shock Absorber 1988-1998 Chevrolet K3500 Pickup - B8583 FAQ
It is listed for: 1988-1998 Chevrolet K3500 Pickup. Pick your vehicle on this page to check your exact year and trim.
Yes. Replace both fronts or both rears together so each axle damps evenly.
Struts that bolt to the knuckle set camber, so an alignment is wise after replacing them. Rear shocks that only bolt to the axle or arm usually do not change the alignment.
Bouncing after bumps, nose-dive under braking, uneven tire wear and fluid on the shock body are the usual signs.
Only when the listing says they are made for it. A stock-length shock on a lowered or lifted car runs near the end of its travel and wears early.
Check the top mounts and bump stops while the strut is out; worn ones are usually replaced at the same time.
Yes — monthly options show right under the Add to Cart button. Affirm, Klarna, PayPal Pay Later and Snap Finance are offered at checkout, and checking what you qualify for does not affect your credit score.
Install and care: shocks and struts
Before you start
- Plan to do both sides of the axle in one go.
- Check the top mounts and bump stops, and have replacements ready if they are worn.
Do
- Replace both sides of an axle together.
- Torque the lower bolts with the car at ride height and re-check after the first drive.
Don't
- Don't reuse a worn top mount or bump stop.
- Don't fit a stock-length shock to a lowered or lifted car.
