  • Easy install quality product
Worked well for my application I had do some modifications but they actually don’t make the shock for my application so it worked good

These were great we put them on our 61 VW dune buggy

  • Easy installation
I was a bit nervous about installing the air lines and valve stem. The kit came with all of the optional hardware needed to implement a nice install. In my situation, it would have been nice if the valve stem was about 1/4" longer.

  • Very impressive. Easy to install
I have to say I am impressed with the Gabriel hijacker air shocks. It gave me the little rear lift I needed on my 74' Super Beetle, and super easy to install. A great buy with good customer service.

  • Gabriel air shocks
I had these shocks on my car for 2 weeks and about 60 miles. And then they lost pressure and began leaking oil. This product is crap. I have had much better luck with Monroe air shocks. Don't buy the Gabriels.

  • Not impressed
Shocks are fine but the lines are cheaply made. The fill valve is extremely flimsy and could be better quality. Disappointed.

  • Vw beetle air ride
I bought these for the front of my early vw beetle. It wasn't a straight bolt on application but I knew that going into the project. They worked great! Very happy with these.
