These Spring Assists do not increase vehicle payload.

Better Than Air Ride?

Quoted $1500 for air ride to fix my sag when fully packed out. Came across these for 10% the price and they actually work extremely well! If you’re on the fence; jump the fence and buy these! You won’t regret it.

Perfect

I was not happy with the way my 65 Dodge sat low in the rearend. By installing the Gabriel coilovers the car now has an even stance. The ride is incredible. I should have done this 2 years ago.

Good Shock With Versatility.

Nice handling shock. Very helpful to be able to adjust the load handling and/or ride height. I installed the airline's filler fitting in the rear hatch's covered space, just above the left taillight where it's convenient. However, one big bump (with about 40# PSI in the shocks) caused the airline to blow a hole. It was repairable, but perhaps using larger/tougher air lines is advisable.
