Gabriel Load Carrier Spring Assit Towing & Hauling Shocks

I was very skeptical buying this. I saw people saying it fit a ranger and some saying it didn't. I have a: 98 Ford ranger XLT 2wd, 6ft bed with front spring suspension. These were a pain to install but I was able to do it with the factory bottle jack and some jack stands. I lifted the rear up by the diff. I placed a jaclstand with a pice of 2x4 on top under the frame on the side I am working on. I removed the tire. I slowly lowered the jacl. This allowed the rear to sag so I didn't have to depress the spring as much. My old shocks were shot so they came out easily. I mounted the top of the new shocks in place amd tightened it a few threads. I placed the bottle jack alittle forward of the bottom mount. The shock is still too long so I had to pry it so that it sat on top of the jack. I lifted the jack so it sat near where I needed it to be. I used a flat head to try and pry it into place and a Phillips to push through the bolt hole and then guide the mounting bolt through. Hopefully this quick writeup helps someone in the future. Car feels like it handles way better and it sits even. No more rear end sag. Will update later on longevity.

Great item. Went on easy, fit like a glove hope i get many miles out of them as I did my previous ones.

Worked perfectly, could not ask for a better install or leveling ride

Old Ford Ranger 2WD long bed was getting a bit droopy in the rear - these lifted it up and added some stability to it at the same time. Probably gained back about 1.5 - 2". Stiffed things up nicely. My only beef with them - the caps are plastic, hopefully they hold up but it sure seems like a bad corner to cut. I doubt the old truck will outlive these, but if I does so far I would probably still buy another pair just for the cost savings over other brands.

I installed these on my 2006 ford ranger. I honestly don't fot to measure the ride height before I swapped them out sonic don't know the exact amount but they definitely add so.e height back to the truck. Also the stiffened the rear end right up. Before when I got in the bed the truck would drop a couple of inches. Now it barely moves. I even loaded it with 12 4x4s and 12 2x4s the same day and the ride was so much better. I would recommend jacking the vehicle up and putting it on Jack stands on the frame rails so the rear end drops fully down. I did that and made installation super easy. I also sprained the bolts down with penetrating oil well in advance. As of right now I think it's a decent buy.

Super easy to change. Added 2 inches of lift and it rides smooth! Glad I went this way instead of adding helper leafs. Highly Recommended!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

The rear shocks for my 2001 Ford Ranger XLT came in today. And they are absolutely worth every dime. I mean I don't even think it took thirty minutes to install using a floor jack and a screwdriver. I didn't even jack the truck up. The already has a 4" lift kit but the shocks raised up a little bit more. Just took for test ride and she's tight!.. Don't hesitate just get'm!.

J'ai utilisé les deux amortisseurs arrière pour mon GMC Jimmy 2001 et ça fait vraiment bien le travail . À relever l'arrière du véhicule d'environ 1 pouce et demi et la stabilité est très bonne .

Muy buenos, le dan más estabilidad con carga a mi Ranger la combinación de colores hace que se vean muy bien y un poco duros sin carga.

Se rompió uno al mes de puesto, se despegó la botella del soporte, perdió el aceite, la presión y los tengo que cambiar, los puse en mi Jeep CJ5

Gives a good ride and no.more sagging when towing small camper

Truck doesn't sag at all, fully loaded, with a trailer for camping.
