Hauling heavier loads puts a big strain on your suspension. Without reinforcement you could end up with a sagging ride, with a lack of control and comfort. Bolt on a set of Gabriel Load Carrier Spring Assist Shocks, though, and your vehicle will ride like it's not pulling anything at all.

The key to Gabriel Spring Assist Load Carrier Shocks is their coilover design. By adding finely-tuned springs to the equation, these shocks give you the best of both worlds. Front Load Carriers include a constant-rate coil spring that restores or maintains your ride height while offering better towing stability. Rear shocks come with variable-rate springs to give you a 500 pound load capacity per pair (still, do not exceed your vehicle's GVWR when towing!). And with the chromed piston rod, leak-proof piston seal, and Drawn-Over-Mandrel Tubing design found in all of Gabriel's shocks, you know you're getting rugged performance that lasts.

Get the most comfort and stability in your towing machine with Gabriel Load Carrier Spring Assist Shocks. Backed with a 1-Year/25,000-Mile Warranty.

These are great coil over shocks. If you don't want to get airbags or if your aged springs sag these are the ticket. I've had a pair on the front of my truck for 6-8 months and finally got around to installing the rear set. You have to get creative when installing them. The fronts I compressed with ratcheting tie downs, the rear pair had thicker springs so I had to jack up the truck from the tow receiver thus decompressing my suspension to fit the shocks in place. Overall I highly recommend them with a 4.5/5 star review.

Just installed so not sure how they will do, but look good and lift the back of the truck higher than the others.

I installed a set of these shocks on my 1987 Ford F 350 dually, approximately 15 years ago. They are still on there, and they don't leak. Now I have an Automotive repair company. I installed two sets of these on customers vehicles. They are so impressed that, I am sure I will be taking care of their vehicles for a very long time. Thank you.

Great shocks! 'Totally transformed the ride of my pickup! No more wallowing in corners, it handles like a sports car...well, OK, a water-sports car maybe.
