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.

Skyjacker Shock Absorber 1987-1991 GMC V1500 Suburban - N8053 FAQ
It is listed for: 1987-1991 GMC V1500 Suburban; 1987 GMC V1500 Suburban; 1990 GMC V1500 Suburban and more (see the full list above). 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

Don't
