Gabriel gas ryder 2nd gen shocks

ThomasJ · 10-06-2005, 11:51 PM

I went into autozone and bought 4 Gabriel shocks for my 95 4Runner. I took off the old rancho shocks thinking these would give me a smoother ride untill I got my ome stuff intalled this spring. WRONG. These things are so stiff it feels like im going to bust the springs in the seat from bouncing up and down. The rear feels like it is almost rigid. I may be putting the ome stuff in before I had planned. The truck stays extremely flat in corners but that is not what I was looking for. I would not recommend these to anybody looking for a smooth ride.

Thats one good reason why you should'a searched YotaTech (and the web) before wasting $$
