I'm a Toyota MDT and I've used Gabriel for years in all my vehicles, specifically the Ultra line. I like the "variable" rebound feature. OEM quality over easy bumps, etc and "tightens" up over quick suspension movement. They are a great product at a great price.

Literally the best shock video on KZbin

[@coastalbeer]

Gabriel is my go to shocks. I buy the cheapest ones they make and they are awesome. Insider knowledge.

[@tex_gil117]

Blows my mind that the title of this video is for heavy duty application but numerous people with vehicles not even in half ton category are asking if these shocks are for them. Like ?

Gabriel was tha angel that told Mary she was pregnant. Shocking news!

[@AlexeyMagher]

I might be wrong, but now I am thinking whether I did a right purchase. I purchased Gabriel Proguard 4 shocks for my Jeep TJ. Should come over next week. On the second minute of the video you pointed that it should be replaced every 80.000km. In fact, my old KYB Gas-A-Just I am replacing now worked well for over than 200.000km. But Gas-A-Just from KYB is not the Heavy Duty shocks VS Gabriel Proguard, which is HD. Does it mean that the KYB products are way higher grade than Gabriel brand?

[@chadolive1]

Hey bro thanks for the video. Was looking at KYB or Gabriel's for my 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe 3.3lv6 AWD Gls. I was impressed with Gabriel's videos I have watched. KYB OR Gabriel's maybe you could tell me why. I know of the Gurardian, pro Guard, Ultra's, and Monomax. I know anything would be better than the old ones. One question I had was what happens if a I put a Monomax on my ride?. I was impressed with the Ultra, and choosing is complex for me, because I like a smooth ride, but don't mind a rugged ride either. OE original handling or ride sounds good, but so does better handling. Driving people around family friends...and being an UBER EATS drive I need soemthing that takes a huge betating as to min six hours of driving a day in all city terrains. Tons of pot holes in this city tons...so I can drive aggressive which I am not at the moment due compent replacement needs so and Old lady is how i drive until I get my new suspension parts. So ultra's were looking good to me, what happens when you put a heavy duty shock on a vehicle, would it just give a rough ride, and be indistructable long lasting? lol that s the only thing that comes to mind is the heavier the strut or shock the rougher the ride. I am looking for something OE replacable, but also goes above OE for handling and performance, then I got tripped up on the mono max after thinking of our roads. So maybe you can tell what is suiteable and what is over kill and why something might be over kill. cheers bro for making it through this novel.

[@r3d995]

what do you think will happen if I put Gabriel 89428 GasSLX Shock Absorber on rear 100 Landcruiser how the car will act with after market springs?

[@hossfarran6327]

2008 internstional 4200 chasis. Front axle 10k leaf springs. Gvwr 26k Recommendation?

[@mojavedesertsonorandesert9531]

Do you think these shocks will do fine on a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe, I'm on a lot of Desert Dirt roads, some washboard roads..thanks.

[@GreggDistributorsLP]

The shocks discussed in this video are for Heavy Duty truck applications so they would not work for your application.

[@robthestud2003]

What setting should I use on a 2007 Freightliner century 120?

[@GreggDistributorsLP]

Thank you for your interest in our video! We tried to get that information from the literature we have available to us and cannot find it. Your best bet would be to contact Gabriel Technical Support at: gabriel.com/our-company/contact/

[@a.joseph4233]

Need rear strut ass'y for my Lexus RX-350 AWD [mechanical suspension] w/ 149,000 miles ...can you recommend the product that would work for me...thanks

[@GreggDistributorsLP]

The shocks featured in this video and the shocks available at Gregg Distributors are limited to the Heavy Duty truck market. Unfortunately, we do not have automotive shocks readily available for your application, but thank you for watching our video!

[@davidfs.6233]

I tried 89443...Terrible..Gabriel fleetline gave firmer ride,Then gas adjust set on XF..

[@hprider01]

Do you ship to America 🇺🇸

[@GreggDistributorsLP]

We currently only distribute products within Canada. Thanks for watching!

[@Texas240]

Interesting to see most of the comments from 4 wheeler drivers who didn't have the mental capacity to realize this distributor only handles big truck parts. I'm always shocked and amazed at how you can take an ordinarily reasonable and intelligent person and turn them into a complete %&#*ing idiot simply by placing them behind the steering wheel of a car or light truck. Otherwise, great video.

That's my last name do I get a discount lol
