About this part

Black Max Shock Absorber, fitment-checked

A Black Max shock measuring 26.79 in. extended and 15.56 in. collapsed, supplied with a black boot over the shaft. It covers the 1980-1996 Bronco and the 1980-1996 F-150 4WD in Eddie Bauer, Special, XL and XLT trim. Two applications are listed: trucks running 4.5 to 6.5 in. of lift, and front dual-OE mounting on 4 to 8 in. of lift. Shipping weight is 5.8 lb.

Length is the whole decision with a replacement shock, and this one is 26.79 in. extended and 15.56 in. collapsed, which is a lifted-truck length rather than a stock one. Skyjacker lists it two ways: as the shock for 4.5 to 6.5 in. of lift, and as the front shock in a dual-OE setup on 4 to 8 in. Which you need depends on how the front end is mounted, not on the lift number alone. A black boot comes fitted, which keeps grit off the shaft where the seal rides.
