About this part

Black MAX Shock, fitment-checked

The taller Gladiator Black MAX, matched to 3-3.5 in. of lift. Same series, same truck and the same boxed weight as its shallow counterpart — the lift band is the entire difference, and getting it wrong costs suspension travel.

Two Black MAX part numbers, one Gladiator, two lift bands: this is the 3-3.5 in. one. That corresponds to a proper suspension lift rather than a levelling kit, and the shock is valved and sized for the travel that implies. Coverage is the 2020-2025 Gladiator in 4WD in 80th Anniversary, Altitude and Freedom trim. Since the two part numbers share everything else our record holds, measure the truck's actual ride height rather than ordering from the kit name.
