Big Air Raids! fits shock absorber

Easy installation. Have had them for a week now. No air leakage. Great performance so far. You drive a 2003 Suburban with rear-wheel drive.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • damaged

Direct fit to parts

This is the best investment on my old 1976 pickup. The rear rebound has been removed and added support for heavier loads.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Out of fashion

They do their job in spare parts

Easy to install. So far they are holding the pressure very well. It's been a month and they're still Β£50 like the day I installed them.

Pros
  • Build confidence
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Hose kit is terrible

I don't know how shock absorbers work as the air ducts are very breathable. The shocks feel solid enough, but the wiring is a disaster. Email sent to Gabriel but no reply received. Terrible customer service. You get a star for that.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • No power

Good product at Shocks

Good quality, correct fit, no problem. Supplied complete with all hose connections and fittings. Works great for my GMC Jimmy rear suspension. I was able to adjust the height for some off-road adventures to keep the hitch from bottoming out on some of the rougher stuff.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Zero

Fit my Nissan Titan

Couldn't find a kit for my 2007 Nissan Titan until I found this one. I ended up measuring the shocks on my 2007 Tahoe and they were exactly the same as the ones on my Titan so I gave it a try. They fit perfectly and work great. Have driven it about 300 km, no leaks. I hooked them up to the onboard air control system and am very happy. I'll update if I run into any issues, but so far so good.

Pros
  • Lots of good vibes
Cons
  • flimsy

The shocks were still good apart from a slow leak

I have been using Gabriel Hijackers for over 40 years and have replaced the kit that was on my 76 K5 Blazer. I ride monster tires and do a body lift, not a suspension lift. The set I took off I put on in 1990 and blew them away, one shock absorber was starting to leak so I replaced the set, the shock absorbers were still fine except for a slow leak. They used to be painted white and had Gabriel's stickers on them, now they're "regular black Janes". When I'm loaded they keep my blazer straight…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Has flaws
