Skyjacker® Hydro Shocks offer you a high quality shock absorber with true velocity sensitive valving for 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 Ford F-150. Shock absorbers, or spring dampers as they are called everywhere else except in the U.S., control the rate at which suspension springs compress and rebound. Designed for 0-2″ lift applications, these hydraulic shocks ensure your lifted suspension operates smoothly while controlling the energy stored in the springs.

When you lift your Ford F-150, the suspension travel increases significantly, but the factory shock absorbers remain the same length. This mismatch causes the shocks to overextend or bottom out, leading to poor ride quality, reduced control, premature wear, and potential damage to suspension components. Skyjacker Hydro Shocks solve this problem by providing the correct extended length (15.3″) and collapsed length (10.02″) specifically designed for 0-2″ lift applications, ensuring your suspension operates within its optimal range while maintaining proper damping characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need 0-2″ lift shocks for my 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 Ford F-150?
When you lift your Ford F-150, the suspension travel increases, requiring longer shock absorbers. Standard shocks become overextended, leading to poor ride quality and potential damage. These 0-2″ lift shocks provide the correct length for your lifted suspension.

What is the difference between Hydro Shocks and gas shocks?
Hydro Shocks use hydraulic fluid without pressurized gas, providing consistent damping performance. Unlike gas shocks, they won’t expand automatically and offer smoother, more controlled damping for lifted vehicles.

Do these shocks require any special installation?
Yes, Hydro Shocks must be mounted with the body down. This is critical for proper operation. The included red polyurethane bushings and mounting hardware make installation straightforward.

What is velocity sensitive valving?
Velocity sensitive valving automatically adjusts the shock’s resistance based on the speed of suspension movement. This provides gentle damping for small bumps while firming up for larger impacts, resulting in a smooth, controlled ride.

Are these shocks covered by a warranty?
Yes, Skyjacker Hydro Shocks come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, demonstrating the manufacturer’s confidence in their quality and durability.
