Review: Nice air shock by a reputable company - I purchased these to put on my Chevy Silverado 3500 to help level my load when pulling my camper. Do these installed very easy and did the job very well. The shock itself is of good quality however if there was anyone fault with this, it would be the plastic Key filler connection where I would have preferred to see a brass filler valve T and brass connector instead of plastic. So far no leaks and the ride quality is good. They were a perfect fit and a good value solution for leveling my truck when hauling my camper.
Review: They work great - They work great. My old Mercury, would scrape the rear bumper and trailer hitchcoming in and out of the driveway. It got worse when I added junk in my trunk . I put the these air shocks on and put a little air in them and I can get in and out of the driveway without scraping.
