The Skyjacker YJ25K-B is a complete 2.5-inch suspension lift kit designed for the Jeep Wrangler YJ, bundled with Skyjacker's Black MAX shock absorbers. This kit delivers a balanced combination of increased ground clearance, improved off-road capability, and a smooth on-road ride without sacrificing factory-like handling characteristics.
The Black MAX shocks featured in this kit utilize Skyjacker's proprietary Foam-Cell technology, which compensates for oil expansion as the shocks heat up under demanding conditions. This design removes air from inside the shock body, allowing the absorbers to be mounted in any direction while maintaining consistent damping performance across a wide operating temperature range. The twin-tube construction enhances fluid capacity, and each shock features a hardened, chrome-plated shaft, 360-degree arc-welded end mounts, and 180-degree directional mounting capability.
Skyjacker's leaf springs are shot-peened for increased tensile strength and longevity. They are 100% pre-cycled and set at the factory, eliminating any break-in period and ensuring a defect-free fitment right out of the box. The tapered leaf design provides more flex at the ends, and Teflon-tipped inserts distribute loads more evenly across the entire spring pack — resulting in smoother suspension travel and easier installation.
