Review on 🚚 Gabriel Front Load Carrier 34073 by Maurice Morris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really feel an improvement in handling and drivability. I hope this shock lasts for many years to come.

I installed it on Crown Vic 1981 and installed a few more on Grand Marquis 1983, they improved handling on both cars, it also lifts both cars but it's almost imperceptible, both Cars have a factory 5.8l engine which weighs a lot more than the usual 5.0l, maybe that's the main reason why in my case both cars didn't have the front lifted. These dampers have somewhat reduced the usual soft ride of these cars, no need to worry and I prefer the handling improvement as well. I also bought a KYB SM5267 - Mount Kit, in my opinion the rubber mounts that come with these shocks are very soft and small and the installation requires an extra jack to start installing the bottom bolts so I'm pulling keen on doing things best First attempt at making the KYB mounts bigger and spreading the forces to many more points, I hope it lasts at least 15 more years. I did the installation on both cars on the same day and both cars make me feel safer to drive and drive.

Pros
  • There are few competitors
Cons
  • Not reliable
