Full Size Bronco Front End Control That Lasts

The Skyjacker M2057 ADX M2.0 Adventure Series front shock is built for the full size 1980-1996 Ford Bronco. The M2057 uses an impact extruded CNC machined T6061-T6 aluminum monotube body that runs cooler than steel shocks, so the M2057 holds its valving characteristics through extended off road runs and heavy highway loads. Inside the M2057, an internal floating piston keeps nitrogen gas and oil separated for consistent, fade free performance. Drivers who install the M2057 up front get predictable steering response and a controlled ride on stock height or modestly lifted Broncos.

Key Features

  • Impact extruded CNC machined T6061-T6 aluminum monotube body
  • Full displaced valving on the M2057 inspired by off road racing

FAQ

What is the M2057?

The M2057 is a Skyjacker ADX M2.0 Adventure Series aluminum monotube front shock absorber engineered for 1980-1996 Ford Bronco applications.

How is the M2057 different from the M2055?

The M2057 is tuned specifically for the full size 1980-1996 Bronco, while the M2055 spans the broader 1966-1996 range. Both share the same ADX M2.0 construction.

Is the M2057 sold as a single shock or a pair?

The M2057 is sold individually. Two units are required to replace both front shocks.

What is the warranty on the M2057?

The M2057 carries a 2 year limited warranty from Skyjacker against defects in materials and workmanship.

Can the M2057 be used with a lifted suspension?

The M2057 is factory tuned for the specified full size Bronco application. Check the Skyjacker fitment guide to confirm the M2057 matches the intended lift height.

What material is the M2057 body made from?

The M2057 uses an impact extruded CNC machined T6061-T6 aluminum monotube body for improved heat dissipation over steel bodied shocks.

Does the M2057 require any special tools to install?

Standard hand tools are sufficient to install the M2057. A jack and jack stands are recommended for safe front end support during installation.

Is the M2057 gas charged?

Yes, the M2057 uses high pressure nitrogen gas paired with an internal floating piston for consistent damping performance.

Install Instructions

  1. Park the Bronco on level ground, set the parking brake, and chock the rear wheels before working on the M2057 installation.
  2. Raise the front of the vehicle and support the frame rails on jack stands at the points specified in the OEM service manual.
  3. Remove the front wheels and place a jack under the lower control arm or ball joint to relieve suspension tension.
  4. Remove the factory front shock and retain any reusable hardware for the M2057 installation.
  5. Connect the M2057 at the upper shock mount and secure without fully tightening.
  6. Connect the M2057 at the lower mount using OEM hardware, again leaving it snug but not fully torqued.
  7. Reinstall the front wheels and lower the vehicle to the ground so full weight is on the tires.
  8. Torque the upper and lower M2057 mounting hardware to OEM specifications, then cycle the suspension and check for clearance issues.
