Gabriel Load Carrier Spring Assit Towing & Hauling Shocks

94 K1500 4X4 Stock, no lift, no leveling. Great Shock. Lifted my saggy truck back up at least 1.5", look cool, simple install. Before you screw up your ride with expensive leveling and lift kits, put a pair of these cool shocks on. I recommend taking a ratchet strap and cutting off the strap and then cutting off the hook on the remaining strap. So you just have the ratchet and the strap (no hooks). Then tie the strap back onto the ratchet and bingo you have a hookless strap that you can tighten up the shock with. In my rig it was even easy to install the strap after the shock was attached to the upper bolts. Compress the shock and install the lower bolt, then remove the strap. If you have your truck properly jacked up, you only need to compress 1/2 inch or less. Makes it safer and easier. If you don't know what you're doing, don't do it. Shocks are great, look good, ride good. It's a stiffer ride, but it's on a truck. I love them and the price is very reasonable.

I love these shocks the ride improvement and stability are awesome, they raised the truck up about 1-2 inches

Amazing choice rose my truck up 2"!! Stiffer ride but I like it!!

They seem to work okay too bad the truck doesn't anymore. No fault of the shocks

Ride ht stays same . When u load bed or add trailer truck no longer sags. Maintains close to level when towing a car on a car hauler in my 98 k1500. Very happy good product by a good company and value priced as well

Installed them on my 1998 Chevy Silverado 1500. Looks good, pretty easy install if you lift the body at the tow hitch. Haven't driven on it yet just got them on but my stock ones were completely shot so this I'm sure will be a huge improvement. Oh and the shopping was extremely fast.

Make sure you let the rear axle hang free and lift rear tires off ground by jacking on frame and installation is easy. Only problem I had was waiting on delivery and when ups said it was delivered five days late package was found at neighbor’s front porch next day this seems to happen more often. Installed on 1996chevy c1500 and replaced original ones after 233,000 miles and yes made truck ride great even when towing trailer with tractor loaded on it.

I put these on the back of my '89 C1500 (2wd). It was bouncing/floating around because the shocks that were on there were shot. I could easily compress them by hand once I got them off. Needless to say it wasn't riding too well when I was bucking/hauling firewood. I went out to load up on some maple a couple weeks after installing these - night and day difference! The back didn't squat nearly as badly as it previously had hauling similar loads. The ride was noticeably better down the road as well as off the road. It handles bumps in the road much better, both when loaded and not loaded. My brother-in-law, who borrows the truck regularly also commented on the ride being better. It will be a little harsher going over speed bumps and such, but it's smoothed out a little now that I have a few miles on them. I also got a couple yards of mulch not too long after installing these - a couple yards fills up the bed, nearly to the top of the cab. Basically a full front-end loader bucket full. Again, significant improvement in both how much the truck squat and how it handled going down the road. Totally worth the money if you haul anything of consequence. If not, these may be overkill. Gabriel hit it out of the park with these!

Absolutely awesome shocks for hauling with half ton trucks or with a Yukon xl

Was in touch with Customer Service at Gabriel (manufacturer of load assist shocks) as Amazon dimensions for part #43162 were WRONG... These Fit my 2003 GMC Sonoma SLS 3door 4x4 ZR2 HighWider....... same measurements as stock rear shocks.... easy install... very satisfied with Product!!

They look awesome and hold extra weight for sure.

They were a little tricky to install but work well. They are quite stiff when not hauling a load but that's what I was looking for. Exactly as expected and quality seems to be very good so far. Definitely recommend if you haul any weight regularly
