43181 Load Carrier Rear Towing Shock Absorbers for Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Suburban, Tahoe; Dodge Ram 1500; GMC Yukon, Jeep Gladiator; Nissan Titan (1 Pair)

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.

Fantastic for a 1987 Chevrolet Astro Van, in my case a RWD camper. It's all but impossible to find load-adjusting shocks for a front axle, much less tweakable ones. I've been "Astro" my entire adult life and with added cowl weight or engine compartment weight in these are a life saver! Quiet, improved handling, stability, ride height, traction, easy to install if you lift the front high enough to get the shock through the control arm slot from the bottom. These fit inside the coil spring very well and add life to motor mounts. Braking is even better in my case. My only recommendation is Grade 8's or 10's over the supplied hardware. Also, since I use them in a modified application, I make a couple of slight modifications as photographed. Note: Although shock length and diameter is the same as OEM, load carrier shocks are all but impossible to compress by hand after the hand-tight top nut is installed. Rather than compressing the shock bottom with a jack and having zero clearance for the bottom eye bolts, it's easier to start with two long bolts to snug it up. Then, remove one at a time and replace with your short bolts. In conclusion, these shocks are FANTASTIC, especially considering the price and performance!

They are perfect for my 2003 Silverado, I love them, the cushioning feels super soft, I recommend it one hundred percent

I recently upgraded my 1996 Ford Ranger with these coil-over shocks from Amazon, and the results have been impressive overall. The fit was spot-on, instantly transforming the handling dynamics of my truck. One of the most noticeable improvements was the enhanced stability. The coil-over shocks provided a significant boost in control at higher speeds, making my Ranger feel more planted and responsive on the road. The steering and stopping capabilities were notably improved, contributing to an overall safer and more enjoyable driving experience. However, there were a couple of aspects that caught my attention. While the fit was excellent, the ride did become a bit rougher. It's a trade-off for the increased stability, and I found it acceptable for the performance gains. Another concern was the plastic coil spring retainer. It didn't instill the same confidence as the other components. Although it didn't affect the performance, I would have preferred a more robust material for added durability. In terms of the driving experience, the upgrade undeniably made my truck feel newer. The control and responsiveness added a modern touch to the driving dynamics, and I appreciated the overall improvement in handling. In conclusion, these coil-over shocks are a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to breathe new life into their older Ford Ranger. The noticeable improvements in stability, control, and the truck's overall feel make it a solid choice. Despite a slightly rougher ride and the plastic retainer, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. I would recommend these shocks to fellow Ranger owners seeking an upgrade for a more engaging and secure driving experience.

I love these shocks the ride improvement and stability are awesome, they raised the truck up about 1-2 inches

Fit 1988 Lincoln town car. Install was easy and came with all needed parts rides firm and back end of car doesn't sag anymore. Installed in parking lot with basic hand tools and Jacks.

these were great and was installed on my 2016 Silverado

Great upgrade for my 94 Suburban. The rear end was squatting when towing and honestly while just sitting and the overall ride wasn't great. I installed these hoping it would bring it back level as well as fix the ride issues. First the ride is way better and firmer. No up and down bounce after hitting a bump. These also raised the rear of my truck by maybe 1-2 inches. I'll probably end up replacing my leaf springs as they are kinda flat but that's a seperate issue. Installation was pretty straight forward, 1 bolt at bottom and 2 smaller bolts up top. The upper mount is a little thinner than stock but bolted up just fine. Being as these have springs they are nearly impossible to compress by hand and I had to get creative with a ratchet strap to compress then far enough to get the lower bolt in. Install time was about 1.5 hours including removal/install of wheels, jack stands and actually swapping shocks. I gave 4 stars for now but will update after towing my camper.

These are a great replacement for a half ton. They ride nice. In my opinion they didn’t make the ride any stiffer. Easy installation.

Just had to cut odd the hanger bolt on the bottom, and use the bung to weld in place to make proper clearence, workes great !

De momento me han salido muy bien se siente un poquito más rígida la suspensión y si aumento un poco la capacidad de carga

They look awesome and hold extra weight for sure.

Installed and they made a big difference in the ride as well gave me 1 inch lift
