  • 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. Like back in 1998... ... show more

  • Added Hijackers To My 2006 Nissan Maxima
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

Difficult to instal in motorhome chasis due to lack of space to reach top nut.

  • They will not hold air
I wouldn’t even give them one star but I had to give them something on my first order I sent the wrong shocks, The next order was bolts to install, I had them installed by a professional local tire company took down 800 mile trip make sure DAVIS aired up whenever I left halfway there I had to stop and put air in again that continued the entire trip about every 200 miles took it back to the shop who installed them the air is leaking around one of the stems So basically they’re worthless now I’ve got to pay to have them taken off again and some different new shocks put on ... show more

  • Added extra lift we needed. Great price.
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.
