Customer Q&A - Gabriel 43048

Ask A Question

Question:

Will these fit a 2005 Jeep Liberty 3.7L 2WD? If not are there others that will fit?

Answer:

Gabriel 43048 will not fit a 2005 Jeep Liberty. We checked with Gabriel and they do not make a Load Carrier shock for a 2005 Jeep Liberty at this time.

Question:

Wish to purchase a Pair of spring assist load lever REAR shocks for 1965 Buick Riviera are they available?

Answer:

Gabriel does not make load carrier shocks for the 1965 Rivera. We checked and they only make the Classic shock absorber series.

Question:

will these shocks fit 2000 tacoma 4 wheel drive

Answer:

We checked with Gabriel and they do not make load carrier shocks for a 2000 Tacoma. This set will not fit a Tacoma.

Question:

I own a 2001 Chevrolet Venture van ( 120" wheelbase) and am looking for these type of rear shocks. Does Gabriel manufacture any to fit this vehicle?

Answer:

Gabriel part 49230 fits the 2001 Chevrolet Venture van.

Question:

Hello, I want to know if I can improve suspension comfort to my series 3 Landrover Santana Lightweight. I fitted parabolic springs, but it´s still a very hard ride especially at the front. So my question is: can I take 1 leaf away from the pack of 2, and add your Gabriel assist shock to return to original ride height (more or less) but improve flex? Best regards, Lorenzo Blaauboer (spain)

Answer:

We have tried removing a leaf from leaf springs in the past and adding air bags, or load support shocks in our shop and were not satisfied with the results. The air shocks will require more air to compensate for the missing leaf which will result in a stiff ride. We do not recommend it as a way to try to achieve a softer ride. You may want to try a high end shock absorber like Bilstein to help with the ride.
