Browsing through fleabay this morning I just came across some Gabriel coil-over shocks listed to fit our trucks. Anyone ever tried them? I'm wondering if they'd be worth the $88 to get them here. Any thoughts?

 

If no one else has used them I am thinking I might give them a shot and see what happens.

 

I' do a search before I laid out good money, everything I find says Bilstein shocks is the way to go. The Ford and Chevy diesel owners seem to use them too. They will be my next buy for the Ramcharger.

 

Any quality brand-name shock is probably better than whats there now. These have a coil spring over the shock. I couldn't find the item number, haven't used fleabay in a while. Have to go look at how much clearance there is around my shocks first.

 

I've heard good thing about that brand, not sure if it is the same for dodges. I have bilstein on everything I have and I like it, more when I consider that if it ever goes bad they back their warranty.

 

I did and they were the cause of my front drive shaft problems. They have a longer travel than stock and that was just enough to exceed the angle limit on the double cardan joint. POP $200 please . Otherwise they helped out alot with the front end. I just wish I can some some with the right travel.

 

I have a set of front air shocks for my 92. They don't do much, due to the weight of the lump under the hood. Maxed out, they barely move the suspension, and made the truck ride terrible. I pulled them out and installed a set of nitrogen charged shocks. Much better.


Anyone want to buy a brand new set of air shocks for our trucks ? Used about 1 week, and can't say I'll ever put them on again .....

 

Had to skip out on the shocks for now. Hit a buzzard on my way home that Sunday. Stupid thing stayed at grill guard level til I was about a truck length away then came up and leveled at windsheild height.

 

Had a long week at work last week. Think I am going to try them. Going to measure the hole in my lower control arm first, make sure I don't have to butcher it to get these in.
