Description of ๐Ÿ”ง ACDelco 519 2 Specialty Assisted Absorber: Superior Performance for Optimal Shock Absorption

Constant rate front coil springs can help improve stability and maintain ride height. 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.]. Seamless Drawn-Over-Mandrel (DOM) tubing decreases internal component wear, resulting in longer service life. Super finished, chromed, piston rod provides anti-corrosion properties, a more consistent wear surface, proper seal lubrication, and longer product life. Real-world tested to ensure that the shocks will fit intended vehicles and applications

Installation hardware not included.

Good overload protection. 3 stars for that: Too bad the damper bushing washers were NOT included; So I had the honor of putting bush washers from earlier (used) shocks on a spoked wheel to remove all corrosion from them so I could fit those Delco overloads in time. included or not; but that would be the first pair of shocks I've bought without new shock mounting washers.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Front and rear 81 CJ 7 Jeep

Used on the front and rear of a 1981 CJ7 Jeep. They claim they are rear only but I tried and got 1 3/8" rear and 2" front lift. It's always seemed to me that jeeps have a high rear which gives a more balanced look. However, this required using a jack between the front axle and the frame to open things up wide enough to attach the shock (it takes about 250 pounds to compress the shock's spring, so I couldn't just manually push it into place to press). ). it doesn't look like it should go downโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to assemble
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Big powerful and lifting thrusts. My second purchase for 2 separate cars

This is the second pair I have installed. A complete set of 4 on my 1996 Dodge B2500 van that worked wonders to drive. This minimizes lateral swaying/rocking. I installed these two shock absorbers on the back of my 1998 Nissan Frontier XE Ext Cab RWD. (unfortunately they are not made for the front). He raised the back end 1-3/4 inches on each side. If you own an old small Toyota or Nissan pickup, you know that not only do shock absorbers wear out, leaf springs also weaken over time. Theseโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
