Settled Rear Ride for the Original K5 Blazer
The Skyjacker M2060 ADX M2.0 Adventure Series rear shock brings modern monotube performance to the 1969-1972 Chevrolet Blazer. The M2060 uses an impact extruded CNC machined T6061-T6 aluminum monotube body that runs cooler than a traditional steel shock, so the M2060 stays consistent whether crawling trails or hauling gear. An internal floating piston inside the M2060 separates nitrogen gas from oil, preventing fade and cavitation during hard use. Running the M2060 out back keeps the rear axle controlled and reduces bounce over rough terrain.
