Anyone ever try these shocks? Don't have a large budget and their for two air adjustable shocks.

Re: Gabriel Hi-jackers

these are height adjustable air shocks, not adjustable as far as rebound and compression like say a KYB air adjustable shock.

If you just need to replace some worn out shocks go buy yourself some monroe's or something like that for right now. Either way stay away from the gabriels and definitely stay away from the Hi-jackers.

Don't do it. They novelty runs out in like 2 hours. And they ride like crap 99% of the time.

My only positive is that when deflated to the minimum of 25lbs. I would get a good squat on takeoff.

I was much happier with the kybs.

Re: Gabriel Hi-jackers

ok, a few replies and many searches later...going to suck it up and go with some good ones.

Is anyone running HD's (not revalved from strano) and hotckis? Any suggestions on why i should go with revalves?

thanks.

Re: Gabriel Hi-jackers

Revalves will be more well suited to controling the springs stiffer springs for both rebound and compression. Sam is really who you should talk to though if you are thinking of getting them. He won't try to sell you on them unless he really thinks you need them, he is really good at figuring out what each person needs on a case by case basis and doesn't really recommend just one plan of action. IMO though if you aren't going to really be pushing your car the HD's will do "OK" not great but acceptable. If you decide the revalves are for you though I'd go with the Strano springs.
