Since 1974, Skyjacker has manufactured high-quality off-road suspension, steering, and drive-line upgrades. Right from the start, the company introduced a lot of innovative ideas that had never been seen before in suspension systems.

Although today the company has a top-class status with an amazing team of professional designers and engineers, it started its path when a married couple decided to create off-road suspension upgrades.

Skyjacker never saves on materials, resources, equipment, and technologies. Customers respect and choose Skyjacker Suspension Upgrades because they know for sure that each release is designed, tested, and created to outperform and exceed current standards.

Shocks and Struts by Skyjacker

The main goal of Skyjacker’s team, when they create shocks and struts, is to achieve instant response to the changes in the road and terrain conditions. Skyjacker’s patented true velocity sensitive valve offers a maximum level of resistance, regardless of terrain conditions and the speed of your vehicle. With Skyjacker shocks and struts you’ll get excellent stability, comfort, and performance.

In terms of design, each model is manufactured for many years of service using durable, high-quality materials. You’ll get a reliable connection of the tires with the road, which in turn will improve safety on risky off-road terrain.
