I have a 2004 gmt800 single cab that was hitting the frame after a 4 inch drop kit. I didnt want to c notch the frame so I opted to go with these instead. Great purchase and the truck rides Much better now.

Fits great

I broke my prior air shock due to them being 25 years old and I replaced them with this model. The installation was straight forward and everything I needed came in the box. They hold air and lift my car to the right leveling with about 80 psi. Installed them on a 1974 Nova.

I decided to purchase these to help with sagging and overall ride quality on my truck. I have a 2004 Silverado LS extended cab truck. It has a belltech drop kit. Its lowered 2" in the front and 4" in the back. The truck overall has a level stance but I do have a fiberglass tonneau cover so it sag very little due to the weight. Anything I put in the back makes it worse. I was pleased with the shocks, they were bigger in diameter than expected. I've include some pics to compare the size of the old shock to the new one. The installation was not difficult. The instructions are not great but if you have ever replaced anything on a vehicle you can manage changing out the shocks. I really advise to have the right tools I had to find a small bar so that I had more leverage to break the bolts loose. Other than that the only problem I had was that the valve stems are short and fit deep instead the valve. The tire inflator that I have will not push down on the valve stem so it will not take air. I am planning to correct this by trimming down the valves so that the inflator will be able to reach farther and engage the valve stem. Reading other comments it seems other people have had the same issue. You might be able to unscrew the valve stem but when I tired it, it would leak air. I was going to try to hook the hoses up to a firestone air gauge that I have mounted in the truck but the air hoses on the shocks are very very small. I was surprised on how thin of a hose it uses. I am going to have to see if I can find some reducers to even consider hooking things up to a gauge. With that being said do not expect these to air up fast like air bags. There will not air up fast but they will air up.

Heaver made than Monroe, better finish, better quality

I put these on my 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 to level the rear of my truck when I would use an auto hauler. When I bought these the window that says these will or will not fit your vehicle indicated they would. Why would I buy something that did not or would not fit? Now the window says they won't! The shocks fit my truck just fine and were easy to install. Installation took place at approximately 15,000 miles and they seemed to work really well over the last few of years. I only used the auto hauler approximately 5 times in the time the shocks were on the truck. The rest of the time the truck was used just as transportation with nothing in the bed. About a month ago, at about 45,000 miles I noticed a knocking noise...is that a good description?....coming from the rear of the truck when I would go over a bump. I have a 4 post lift in my garage and today I put the truck on the lift to check things out. I found that all of the bushings had become loose and the rubber had migrated out of position so that the ends of the shocks were no longer centered in the mounting brackets on the truck, and the edges of the ends were rubbing on the brackets! Plus the "Bell" on the top of one of the shocks had broken loose from the shaft and was free floating. I've used Gabriel shocks over the years and they used to be really good quality. Now they're just another piece of junk made in Mexico...or to be politically correct..Hecho en Mexico. So I would recommend to not waste your money on these. UPDATE: I ordered the ACDelco air shocks for the rear of my truck to replace the above shocks. When I received the Delco shocks and opened the box guess what....they are the identical shock as the the Gabriel that "won't fit my vehicle". The number stamped on the shock absorber is the same on both brands! And both are made in Mexico... I noticed on the Delco shocks that one of the bushings was already misshapen and was positioned wrong in the shock end. So I opted to return the ACDelco shocks before even installing them. Why replace junk with junk?

Work great on my Yukon XL

I installed these air shocks on my 1966 F100 today to raise the rear end due to old, tired leaf springs. They went in quickly and easily. Before I ordered them I was a little concerned about the plastic fittings, but once I began putting things together I was impressed with the snug connections. No instructions were provided so I had to look on the Gabriel website. They have a short video on how to do a HiJackers installation which was very helpful. Afterwards I took my truck out for a spin and am happy with the smooth ride and no saggy butt.

Did not fit could not get right info from seller

Great quality shocks. Currently running a pair on the back on my 3 wheeler as air bags. They required modification but as a test set are handling everything pretty good 👍 One thing to watch for is if you are looking for eyelets on top and bottom 👆 The top is not an eyelet on the 13" model. It is made to bolt upwards into a mount. The 15 inch model has eyelets on top and bottom. Easy to fix but the picture can be deceiving.

Good seller, good product, good value. Thank you! I have one problem, they do slowly leak pressure over about 24 hours unfortunately I have been unable to track the source so far. Apart from that they work well and they are less harsh than the standard shocks that I replaced.

Excelente producto cumple con su buen funcionamiento.

Perfect fit. Works perfect. Very happy.
