Product Details
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.

Starting small and then one day being able to tout that you have a business that occupies eight facilities and whose products are used throughout the world is no small accomplishment. Couple that with experience that dates back to 1974 with successes that are easily recognizable in the aftermarket suspension industry and you have a winning ticket and that company is Skyjacker Suspension. And they owe their success in part to the fact that their first and most important and continuing mission is to give their customers the best.
Skyjacker recognizes a customers “right to choose” and knows flexibility is important in suspension packages so in line with their mission of giving the customer the best they have designed a potpourri of lift heights and levels of performance in their suspension products for their Chevrolet/GMC, Dodge, Ford, Jeep and Toyota customers. Skyjacker Suspension was, in fact, one of the pioneers in the market to provide a true suspension system for the 2018 Jeep JL and the 2020 Jeep Gladiator.
Need shocks, well Skyjacker can help there too, or better yet if you need a lift kit and shocks then the Skyjacker Lift Kit w/Shocks might be just what you need since it includes everything from spacers to shocks and even down to all the necessary hardware. Want to go faster and harder in your truck or SUV then you might want to consider the Skyjacker Sky Long Travel Kit that will help you keep your tires planted and improve traction so that you get a softer landing while traversing the dune or on a complicated trail.
