Smoother Rides Start With a Shock Built for the Terrain
The Skyjacker M2016 is a front ADX M2.0 Adventure Series aluminum monotube shock engineered for drivers who push their 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee off the pavement and back again. The aluminum body sheds heat faster than a traditional steel shock body, which means damping characteristics stay consistent even after long stretches of rough road or high speed trail runs. Skyjacker built this shock with a full displacement valving system that reads the terrain and adjusts resistance on the fly, so the ride stays controlled whether you are crawling over rocks or cruising the interstate. Installing it in place of a tired factory shock or a worn out aftermarket unit restores confident handling and protects the rest of the suspension from the excess movement that comes with a failing shock.
Key Features
- Aluminum monotube body for faster heat dissipation and consistent damping
- Full displacement valving system tuned for on-road and off-road use
- Direct front replacement application, no cutting or drilling required
- Corrosion resistant hardware and durable seals for long service life
- Backed by Skyjacker limited warranty coverage

About Skyjacker
Skyjacker has designed and manufactured suspension systems in Mississippi since 1970. The company built its reputation on rugged testing standards, running every design through real world trail and highway conditions before it reaches production. Black Ops Auto Works carries the Skyjacker lineup because it matches the standard our customers expect from a shock that has to work as hard on the trail as it does on the daily commute.
