Load Carrier 34036 Towing & Hauling Front Shocks (Pair) fits Chevrolet & GMC C10 C15 C20 C30 C3500 K5 P10 P20 P30 Blazer Jimmy Suburban; Pickup, Van, Panel, Crew Cab, Standard Cab

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.

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!

They are perfect for my 2003 Silverado, I love them, the cushioning feels super soft, I recommend it one hundred percent

I recently upgraded my 1996 Ford Ranger with these coil-over shocks from Amazon, and the results have been impressive overall. The fit was spot-on, instantly transforming the handling dynamics of my truck. One of the most noticeable improvements was the enhanced stability. The coil-over shocks provided a significant boost in control at higher speeds, making my Ranger feel more planted and responsive on the road. The steering and stopping capabilities were notably improved, contributing to an overall safer and more enjoyable driving experience. However, there were a couple of aspects that caught my attention. While the fit was excellent, the ride did become a bit rougher. It's a trade-off for the increased stability, and I found it acceptable for the performance gains. Another concern was the plastic coil spring retainer. It didn't instill the same confidence as the other components. Although it didn't affect the performance, I would have preferred a more robust material for added durability. In terms of the driving experience, the upgrade undeniably made my truck feel newer. The control and responsiveness added a modern touch to the driving dynamics, and I appreciated the overall improvement in handling. In conclusion, these coil-over shocks are a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to breathe new life into their older Ford Ranger. The noticeable improvements in stability, control, and the truck's overall feel make it a solid choice. Despite a slightly rougher ride and the plastic retainer, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. I would recommend these shocks to fellow Ranger owners seeking an upgrade for a more engaging and secure driving experience.

Installation easy. Just drop your diff and jack up the bed by the tow hook. Make installing them way easier. Hauled 2 scoops of 3/4 gravel for a garage I was doing and it pass with flying colors. Did this all day 2 scoops at a time for a combine of 10 scoops. If you’re looking for an affordable set of shocks that actually work when carrying heavy loads i recommend them. Also a smooth ride.

Fit 1988 Lincoln town car. Install was easy and came with all needed parts rides firm and back end of car doesn't sag anymore. Installed in parking lot with basic hand tools and Jacks.

Fantastic coil overs car is smooth on roads,like sitting on my couch.

So I had to do some sketchy stuff to get this in a 1972 El Camino. It was "approved to fit" but it didn't. The problem was the coil and its housing hit the lower control arm and just barely didn't fit. So what I did was ground a flat area on the mount on both sides and removed the spring. So I was able to thread the spring in and then the shock but couldn't get the spring retainer clip in because it was to high in the mount without access. So I had to get really sketchy. I used a spring compressor to compress the spring down (big no-no) and zip stripped it. With it decreased in height, I could put the retainer clip in and snip the zip strips. It released with a bang but everything lined up (luckily). So I was able to install it. The one spring sits pretty close to the suspension compression spring. But they did install. With some modifications that I should have had to make. The lower mount for the spring should be removable and not the top. Oh well. I could have just left the spring off but I figured it might be cool and add a little benefit.

Just had to cut odd the hanger bolt on the bottom, and use the bung to weld in place to make proper clearence, workes great !

De momento me han salido muy bien se siente un poquito más rígida la suspensión y si aumento un poco la capacidad de carga

They look awesome and hold extra weight for sure.

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

I bought the Gabriel's to help the rear of my 2006 GMC Canyon, the leaves were sagging because of the weight I carry for work. The Shocks and springs are well made and nicely appointed. Ride height increased by about 2 inches unloaded and settled back to normal with my tools inside. Ride quality is excellent, the back end is firmer but not harsh, truck handles better and feels more stable. I am very please with my purchase, saved me hundreds of dollars by not having to replace the rear springs.
