## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will these fit 2008 f 250**
A: No these General Motor Vehicles products

**Q: will these fit a 2014 Honda Odyssey**
A: Nice try!  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.
