  • Added extra lift we needed. Great price.
Style: 49178
Hard to find to fit our 1988 camper van. These fit and worked great. We wrapped the air lines in wire loom for added protection. Took a couple of hours to take off the old shocks and put these on. Works great.

  • Not Happy
Style: 49178
I ordered these back in March and had them professionally installed. Since then, the driver-side rear corner of the car has started sagging, which makes me suspect a leak—likely caused by the plastic fittings that came with the kit. They really need to upgrade all the fittings to brass and include better-quality hoses or tubing. Now I’ll have to pay again to have these removed and reinstall regular gas shocks, which is frustrating and an extra expense I shouldn’t have to deal with. ... show more

  • Improved design
Style: 49178
I haven't purchased a pair of these in quite a few years. This new design protects the air bladder so it should be more resistant to getting punctured by objects hitting the shock. The air fittings are as cheap as they could possibly make them. Take your time and make absolutely sure you get them installed properly or they will leak. ... show more

  • Added Hijackers To My 2006 Nissan Maxima
Style: 49178
I added a Curt tow hitch to my 2006 Nissan Maxima. The only problem was that if my trailer had any weight in it. The Maxima's rear end would sag bad! I put new rear spring in and that helped, but the rear answer was air shocks. I have used Hijacker ever since my 1970 Ford Ranchero. So, I purchased Gabriel 49178 Hijackers and installed them on my Maxima. (It obviously took some slight modifications). But the difference is amazing. The original shocks were too bouncy but these shocks provide a better, stiffer feel with the minimum 25psi. And when I want to tow my small trailer with my Maxima, I just juice the shocks with another 25 or 50 psi so my Maxima rides level to the road. Simple a perfect combination! ... show more

  • Inexpensive solution to your hauling problems.

I own a 1998 Ford E250 extended Van. Loaded up with carpet cleaning gear. Heavy water tank, the steam unit and alot of other equipment. I noticed her sagging in the year and well as hitting the bump stops when going over those parking lot speed bumps. Figured time for an upgrade. Super easy installation. Running the airlines is simple. Immediately shes sitting a bit higher in the year and feels so much better just driving down the road. Wish I had installed these years ago.
