Nice air shock by a reputable company
I purchased these to put on my Chevy Silverado 3500 to help level my load when pulling my camper. Do these installed very easy and did the job very well. The shock itself is of good quality however if there was anyone fault with this, it would be the plastic Key filler connection where I would have preferred to see a brass filler valve T and brass connector instead of plastic. So far no leaks and the ride quality is good. They were a perfect fit and a good value solution for leveling my truck when hauling my camper.

so far so good.
don't forget to inflate them to at least 25 psi to push the rod shroud up the shaft to protect the shaft from damage. Easy installation. Truck now rides better than new. I installed these on a 2018 chevy Colorado with 70,000 miles on it. The original shocks are about 1/2 the size and weight of these. The ride quality is incredibly improved.

Great Price, Great functionality
I decided to purchase these to help with sagging and overall ride quality on my truck. I have a 2004 Silverado LS extended cab truck. It has a belltech drop kit. Its lowered 2" in the front and 4" in the back. The truck overall has a level stance but I do have a fiberglass tonneau cover so it sag very little due to the weight. Anything I put in the back makes it worse. I was pleased with the shocks, they were bigger in diameter than expected. I've include some pics to compare the size of the old shock to the new one. The installation was not difficult. The instructions are not great but if you have ever replaced anything on a vehicle you can manage changing out the shocks. I really advise to have the right tools I had to find a small bar so that I had more leverage to break the bolts loose. Other than that the only problem I had was that the valve stems are short and fit deep instead the valve. The tire inflator that I have will not push down on the valve stem so it will not take air. I am planning to correct this by trimming down the valves so that the inflator will be able to reach farther and engage the valve stem. Reading other comments it seems other people have had the same issue. You might be able to unscrew the valve stem but when I tired it, it would leak air. I was going to try to hook the hoses up to a firestone air gauge that I have mounted in the truck but the air hoses on the shocks are very very small. I was surprised on how thin of a hose it uses. I am going to have to see if I can find some reducers to even consider hooking things up to a gauge. With that being said do not expect these to air up fast like air bags. There will not air up fast but they will air up.

Don't Waste Your Money
I put these on my 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 to level the rear of my truck when I would use an auto hauler. When I bought these the window that says these will or will not fit your vehicle indicated they would. Why would I buy something that did not or would not fit? Now the window says they won't!The shocks fit my truck just fine and were easy to install. Installation took place at approximately 15,000 miles and they seemed to work really well over the last few of years. I only used the auto hauler approximately 5 times in the time the shocks were on the truck. The rest of the time the truck was used just as transportation with nothing in the bed.About a month ago, at about 45,000 miles I noticed a knocking noise...is that a good description?....coming from the rear of the truck when I would go over a bump. I have a 4 post lift in my garage and today I put the truck on the lift to check things out.I found that all of the bushings had become loose and the rubber had migrated out of position so that the ends of the shocks were no longer centered in the mounting brackets on the truck, and the edges of the ends were rubbing on the brackets! Plus the "Bell" on the top of one of the shocks had broken loose from the shaft and was free floating.I've used Gabriel shocks over the years and they used to be really good quality. Now they're just another piece of junk made in Mexico...or to be politically correct..Hecho en Mexico.So I would recommend to not waste your money on these.UPDATE:I ordered the ACDelco air shocks for the rear of my truck to replace the above shocks. When I received the Delco shocks and opened the box guess what....they are the identical shock as the the Gabriel that "won't fit my vehicle". The number stamped on the shock absorber is the same on both brands! And both are made in Mexico...I noticed on the Delco shocks that one of the bushings was already misshapen and was positioned wrong in the shock end.So I opted to return the ACDelco shocks before even installing them. Why replace junk with junk?

Fixed my 2003 Buick LeSabre
This kit came with all the necessary materials and fitment pieces. It was straightforward and easy to install. I like that it provided a manual fill valve which I did install for backup should my oem compressor die out. My shocks had previously been replaced so I already had the screw on connections for airlines but this kit provided enough materials for conversion to screw on connections which I feel are superior.Ride is smooth, and lines hold air well. I've had them installed for about 2 months now and everything still working properly. Greatly improved my ride. Do recommend

Good product and fair price.
Very good so far, no issues and will see if they handle a pretty good load pulling a trailer behind shortbed 1996 GMC 4X4 heading to Florida.
