Overview
The Skyjacker B8387 is a Black MAX shock absorber listed for the 2018–2020 Jeep Wrangler (JL) and the 2020 Jeep Gladiator (JT). Skyjacker gives two lift ranges for this shock, 3 to 4 inches for the front and 1 to 3 inches for the rear, so the shock is matched to the lift height in use.
It is a twin tube hydraulic shock with vehicle-specific multi-stage valving. Skyjacker’s foam-cell design lets the shock mount at 180 degrees and removes air inside the shock.
