Didn’t disappoint Review: Great Product, but... - Had a heck of the time getting the lines and fittings to hold air. Ended up using the old air lines to get the system to remain at 85 PSI. Fit was perfect, shocks function exactly as represented. Would advise that you hang onto your old lines for a couple of days to make sure the new ones hold air. Still going with 5 stars thinking I had received defective air lines, stuff happens. ## Features - Vehicle Fitment: 70 American Motors Gremlin; 70 Hornet; 71-73 Buick Centurion; 71-84 Buick Electra; 71-85 LeSabre; 71-78 Riviera; 92-96 Buick Roadmaster; 64-67 Skylark; 87-92 Cadillac Brougham; 77-84 DeVille; 77-96 Fleetwood; 58-74 Chevrolet Bel Air; 58-72 Chevrolet Biscayne; 69-70 Chevrolet Brookwood; 66-70 Caprice; 64-67 Chevelle; 58 Chevrolet Del Ray; 59-67 El Camino; 58-96 Impala; 69-70 Chevrolet Kingswood; 64-67 Malibu; 69-70 Chevrolet Townsman; 71-84 Oldsmobile 98; 64-65 Oldsmobile Cutlass; 71-85 Delta 88; 64-67 F85; 71-81 Pontiac Bonneville; 71-81 Pontiac Catalina; 64-67 Pontiac GTO; 76-81 Pontiac Laurentian; 64-67 Pontiac LeMans; 76-86 Pontiac Parisienne Sedan; 64-67 Pontiac Tempest - Specifications: Stroke (in): 8.48, Extended Length (in): 22.15, Upper Mount Code: BP31, Lower Mount Code: EB1, Collapsed Length (in): 13.67 - Interchange Part Number: MA819, MA751, MA702, 729824, 88946598, 49131, 504-511 - Product Feature: Adjustable air pressure allows the user to tailor ride height and confort base on load weight.

These are VERY close, but not quite the same. The Odyssey rear shock has a unique upper bar pin mount with a wide spacing where the bolts slide in horizontally instead of the typical vertical install. Your lower mount requires a 12mm ID metal sleeve insert inside of the rubber bushing to install on the vehicles cantilever style mounting pin. This shock has a 5/8" (16mm) ID rubber bushing end mount. Some customization would be needed to get there PROVIDED there is clearance to allow for the larger tube size. The area looks pretty restrictive from the images I have. The air shock tube size is 3" if you plan to attempt something. **Q: What are the open and closed lengths pls?** A: Hello. The maximum extended length is 22.15 inches or 562.61 mm. The Minimum collapsed length is 13.67 inches or 347.22 mm. Please let us know if you have further questions. Our Answerman team can be reached on here, by e-mail at answer.man@Gabriel.com or by telephone at 800-999-3903. **Q: will fit 1993 Ford Explorer ?** A: 49131 will be about 2.5" too short for your 1993 Ford Explorer. The part originally listed for your vehicle was 49225 but it has been discontinued. If you can't find it anymore, the next closest air shock is the one for the 1995 and newer Explorer which has the exact same end mounts but is only about 5/8" shorter. It is part number 49232. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Shocks *by B***Z on 31 July 2020* Great shocks. Didn’t disappoint ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product, but... *by A***R on 1 September 2021* Had a heck of the time getting the lines and fittings to hold air. Ended up using the old air lines to get the system to remain at 85 PSI. Fit was perfect, shocks function exactly as represented. Would advise that you hang onto your old lines for a couple of days to make sure the new ones hold air. Still going with 5 stars thinking I had received defective air lines, stuff happens. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good air shock at a good price *by 3***Y on 20 November 2011* I bought these for my 1988 Cadillac Brougham (RWD) and they fit well and give a very nice ride. I did not connect them to the auto leveling lines but rather installed a "fill" air line behind the license plate. I believe they can (with a little effort) be connected to the auto leveling line, if desired. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gabriel 49131 HiJackers Rear Adjustable Air Shock Absorbers Fits American Motors; Buick; Cadillac; Chevrolet Bel Air, Caprice, Chevelle, El Camino, Impala, Malibu, Oldsmobile; Pontiac (1 Pair) - Gabriel 34073 Load Carrier Front Towing Shock Absorbers for Buick; Cadillac; Chevrolet Bel Air C1500 C2500; Ford Victoria GMC Suburban; Lincoln; Oldsmobile; Mercury; Pontiac; Toyota Crown (1 Pair) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/268483804-gabriel-49131-hijackers-rear-adjustable-air-shock-absorbers-fits-american](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/268483804-gabriel-49131-hijackers-rear-adjustable-air-shock-absorbers-fits-american) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-19*
