Load Carrier by Gabriel combine shock and spring technology to reduce the loss of ride height in ongoing loaded conditions. The constant-rate front coil springs can help improve stability and restore or maintain ride height, while the variable-rate rear coil springs provide 500 lbs. per pair of load capacity [Not to exceed vehicle GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). Product does not increase payload]. And like all Gabriel shocks and struts, Front & Rear Spring Assist feature a super-finished chromed piston rod for superior corrosion resistance and a leak-proof piston seal which extends product life.

About Gabriel
Starting in 1907, Gabriel invented the original shock absorber, followed by the first hydraulic shock absorber, the first adjustable shock absorber and the first air adjustable shock absorber. And today, it's still that same innovative, independent American company--building high-performance shocks and struts that cover over 96% of North American vehicles. Gabriel continues adding new product coverage, including expanding their line of ReadyMount strut assemblies, which make installation faster, safer and easier. And Gabriel continues that independent spirit, working hard to deliver innovative new products and services, every day.

I installed these on my 2013 silverado 2500hd. Bolted right up. No problems. You must lift your vehicle from the frame so the tires hang down giving you enough stretch to easily install the shocks. Man, what a difference. My old shocks where worn out. I could feel the stiffness in my ride with these, but not overly stiff. They make NO noise. Look great and gave my truck maybe a half inch in ride height. The truck doesn't bounce, shimmy or anything else. When I go over bumps or lips in the road surface I no longer get any mechanical noise. I can't say enough how happy I am with these shocks. I'll buy them again when the time comes.

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.

****Original review, update at bottom****Yes, I was very skeptical being the first one to write a review on this. Actually I was skeptical on having to be the FIRST one to write a review. If you are like me, and are on amazon, the reviews make a heck of a difference in what you purchase and how you make your orders.I took a chance. I figured stock shocks and a prime membership, If I didn't like them after a couple of days, take them off, and send them back.Installation was pretty simple, except for the ability to jam my forearm between the axle and break line trying to break the bolts upside down. Just a note: I'm no mechanic. Jack the frame up and let the leaf springs rest and then disconnect the shocks, and install. Don't be like me, and think you need to compress the shocks to get them in. I did that on one side before the light bulb went off. Put it on jack stands and let the shocks release to full length.Second. The coil isn't that thick....didn't really bother me to much, but the housing that the coil sits on is a very hard plastic. THIS IS WHY 4 STARS. I'm not ready to give it five until I don't think that piece is going to break off. ****Update BELOW*****The stock made the ride a ton smoother, and handled turns, bumps, and highway speeds with no problems. Once satisfied, I asked my brother to hop in the back of the truck and test out the weight capacity. Much improved. I'll definitely not go over manufacturer's recommended weight, but carrying normal weights seemed much less sag.Will Update soon when I determine the longevity of this housing. other than that, If you're looking for something relative cheap and worthwhile, I would recommended this.****UPDATE 2/2016******So in this time frame, I've moved apartments twice, and moved into a house. That being said, my pickup truck has seen an above average usage in this time frame. These shocks have been nothing but ample for everything I've used them for. The plastic housing is very suitable and heavy duty for the usage. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a great shock for the vehicle, and moving my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars.

These are really nice on my 99 Tahoe. They work, but the install was not the easiest. Was hard to get them into position with the bolts and in the end had to use brute force with some help to get them to finally get in place. But functionally they are great and can't wait to put them to the test more.

Did a good job good replacement after 70k shocks. Towing and handling is much better , took maybe an hour most to replace both back shocks

My 74 truck is running a little more weight and power than stock. It was a bit bouncy on the roads. I stalled these coil over shocks (easy install) and now the trucks rides really well and handles better. They dampen well and the little bit of lift works out perfectly. Also they look really cool.

Way much better then my old shocks. You can feel and see the difference, much smother on the road as well and was so easy to install with a 1.5 ton jack. I was done within 20 to 30min taking off and installing with cleaning off the bolts. The quality, durability and function of then are great with no leakage on either one of them.

Install these on a 2018 GMC sierraThey work fabulous as they should. They aren’t a brand that I typically deal with, but they were priced accordingly at the time.No, the suspension has settled out the springs do catch on the frame bracket when hitting big potholes

awesome, love it.Arrived several days early, easy install, added 2 and 1/4" to the back of my little truck. Perfect for adding some weight.
