94 K1500 4X4 Love These
94 K1500 4X4 Stock, no lift, no leveling. Great Shock. Lifted my saggy truck back up at least 1.5", look cool, simple install. Before you screw up your ride with expensive leveling and lift kits, put a pair of these cool shocks on. I recommend taking a ratchet strap and cutting off the strap and then cutting off the hook on the remaining strap. So you just have the ratchet and the strap (no hooks). Then tie the strap back onto the ratchet and bingo you have a hookless strap that you can tighten up the shock with. In my rig it was even easy to install the strap after the shock was attached to the upper bolts. Compress the shock and install the lower bolt, then remove the strap. If you have your truck properly jacked up, you only need to compress 1/2 inch or less. Makes it safer and easier. If you don't know what you're doing, don't do it. Shocks are great, look good, ride good. It's a stiffer ride, but it's on a truck. I love them and the price is very reasonable.

Excellent Product
I bought the Gabriel's to help the rear of my 2006 GMC Canyon, the leaves were sagging because of the weight I carry for work. The Shocks and springs are well made and nicely appointed. Ride height increased by about 2 inches unloaded and settled back to normal with my tools inside. Ride quality is excellent, the back end is firmer but not harsh, truck handles better and feels more stable. I am very please with my purchase, saved me hundreds of dollars by not having to replace the rear springs.

Shocks Fit OK with a little spacing
I had a workshop fit up the shocks and to prevent rubbing on some of the bodywork underneath the car they had to be spaced out a little on the mounts. The ride height immediately jumps back to when the car was new. Purchased for $200aud delivered. $135aud to install them
