BlackMAX HD Steering Damper Kit for 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 4WD Trucks
The Skyjacker 8007 BlackMAX is a heavy-duty hydraulic steering damper kit built for 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 4-wheel drive trucks. Targeting the shimmy and steering vibration that plagues lifted Ram trucks running oversized tires, the 8007 uses precision-valved hydraulic resistance to keep the front axle tracking straight and the steering wheel calm on both highways and trails. The BlackMAX designation reflects upgraded damping performance over Skyjacker's base stabilizer line.

What does BlackMAX mean on Skyjacker stabilizers?The BlackMAX designation indicates an upgraded heavy-duty damping specification compared to Skyjacker's base steering stabilizer line. The Black finish is also part of the BlackMAX visual identity, making it a popular choice for builds where underhood and undercarriage aesthetics matter.
Will the 8007 help with highway shimmy on a lifted Ram?Yes. The 8007 is specifically designed to address the shimmy and oscillation that lifted Ram trucks experience at highway speeds when running larger tires. The hydraulic damping absorbs the lateral forces before they transmit to the steering wheel.
