About this part

Black Max Shock, fitment-checked

A short-body Black Max at 19.07 in. extended and 12.07 in. collapsed, spanning eighteen applications across the GM K-platform — K1500 and K1500 Suburban from 1988, the Blazer, and the 1999-2000 Cadillac Escalade in 4WD. Bands run from zero lift up to 3 in.

This is one of the widest application lists in the Black Max range, which follows from how many badges GM hung on the same chassis. Coverage takes in the K1500 from 1988-1998, the K1500 Suburban from 1992-1998, the Blazer from 1992-1994 and the Cadillac Escalade for 1999-2000 in 4WD, among others. The shock measures 19.07 in. extended and 12.07 in. collapsed, with bands recorded from a straight 0 in. lift or drop through 3 in. — so it suits a stock truck as readily as a mildly lifted one.
