Gabriel 34073 Front Load Carrier Coil Spring Shocks Absorber for Select Models Buick/Cadillac/Chevrolet- (1 Pair)

Installed and they made a big difference in the ride as well gave me 1 inch lift

Fantastic for a 1987 Chevrolet Astro Van, in my case a RWD camper. It's all but impossible to find load-adjusting shocks for a front axle, much less tweakable ones. I've been "Astro" my entire adult life and with added cowl weight or engine compartment weight in these are a life saver! Quiet, improved handling, stability, ride height, traction, easy to install if you lift the front high enough to get the shock through the control arm slot from the bottom. These fit inside the coil spring very well and add life to motor mounts. Braking is even better in my case. My only recommendation is Grade 8's or 10's over the supplied hardware. Also, since I use them in a modified application, I make a couple of slight modifications as photographed. Note: Although shock length and diameter is the same as OEM, load carrier shocks are all but impossible to compress by hand after the hand-tight top nut is installed. Rather than compressing the shock bottom with a jack and having zero clearance for the bottom eye bolts, it's easier to start with two long bolts to snug it up. Then, remove one at a time and replace with your short bolts. In conclusion, these shocks are FANTASTIC, especially considering the price and performance!

So far seem like good shocks, the rides way better now and the load adjusting spring over shock will definitely stiffen up the old saggy ride and lift you back up a solid 1-2 inches in the rear. Very common on these explorers the rear suspension gets spongy after 20-30 years. Paired with new monroe oespectrum shocks in the front and a little torsion twist lift in the front has this thing riding better than new and looking good on ~2 inches of lift and 265/70r15 cooper discoverers. Sidenote, i know different cars over different years and brands might share parts like this but kinda crazy a mid 90s ford explorer has the same rear shocks as a 70s camaro/ firebird lol but thats what they came with instructions for. They were 100% a match to the old ford shocks that came out and didnt have any issues, just coincidence the polar opposites of vehicles made 25 years apart share the same rear shocks
