Early Bronco Suspension Upgraded for Modern Trails
The Skyjacker M2056 ADX M2.0 Adventure Series front shock delivers modern monotube performance to the early Ford Bronco platform. Skyjacker M2056 pairs a T6061-T6 aluminum body with an internal floating piston to keep nitrogen gas separated from oil, so the M2056 stays cool and consistent through rough trail sections without fading. The M2056 uses a Teflon banded piston and a full displaced valving system derived from off road racing to smooth out impacts while keeping the classic Bronco planted. Owners running the M2056 up front get predictable, controlled handling whether crawling rock or cruising pavement.
Key Features
