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. Review: Lifts about 2” - Nice shocks very firm, raised the truck like 2”… I got it for a 2nd gen ram there hard to install even tho there the same size as the stock ones, the spring makes it really hard to compress to get the bolts in.. so I jacked the shock up and put a ratchet on it to pull it into place.

Looks good ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smooth & Strong! Fits RWD Astro/Safari *by B***P on November 16, 2025* 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! ## Frequently Bought Together - Gabriel 43167 Load Carrier Rear Towing Shock Absorbers for Ford Bronco, F-100, F-150, F-250, F-350, Ranger; Mazda B2300, B2500, B3000, B4000 - RWD (1 Pair) - A-Premium Front Shock Absorbers Sturts Compatible with Ford F-150 F-250 1980-1996, F-350 1980-1997, Ranger 1983-1989 & Dodge Dakota 1997-2004, Durango 1998-2003 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/7705594-gabriel-43167-load-carrier-rear-towing-shock-absorbers-for-ford](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/7705594-gabriel-43167-load-carrier-rear-towing-shock-absorbers-for-ford) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
