FAQ
What is the Skyjacker 8008?The Skyjacker 8008 is a black OEM heavy-duty replacement hydraulic steering stabilizer for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL. It replaces the factory unit with upgraded damping to control steering shimmy and vibration on lifted JL builds.
Is the 8008 specifically for the Wrangler JL or does it fit the JK too?The 8008 is engineered for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL platform. The JK uses the Skyjacker 8003. The JK and JL have different front axle and steering geometries, so confirm the correct part number for your model year before ordering.
What is the difference between the 8008 and 9008?Both are OEM HD replacement stabilizers for the Jeep Wrangler JL, but they differ in finish. The 8008 is a black finish unit, while the 9008 is a silver finish unit. Hydraulic performance is the same between the two.
Does the 8008 require any modifications to install on the JL?No. The 8008 mounts directly to the JL's OEM steering stabilizer positions. All hardware is included and standard hand tools are sufficient.
What warranty comes with the 8008?Skyjacker backs the 8008 with a lifetime limited warranty to the original retail purchaser covering defects in materials and workmanship, excluding competition use and commercial vehicle applications beyond one year.
Will the 8008 help with shimmy on a lifted JL?Yes. The 8008 provides upgraded hydraulic damping compared to the factory JL stabilizer, which helps control shimmy on Wranglers running suspension lifts and larger tires. For more aggressive builds, consider the dual-stabilizer kit.
Does this product contain Prop 65 chemicals?Yes. This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. A Prop 65 warning label is included.
Is the black finish durable for off-road and mudding use?The 8008 features a durable black finish appropriate for off-road use. Surface wear from mud, rocks, and debris may affect cosmetics over time, but the hydraulic damping function is not impacted.
Installation Instructions
- Safely raise the JL's front end on jack stands with the steering wheel in the center position.
- Remove the factory steering stabilizer by unbolting both end connections.
- Install the 8008 in the same locations using the included hardware.
- Torque all fasteners to the values in Skyjacker's instruction sheet.
