## Questions & Answers

**Q: Variable-rate rear coil springs provide 500 lbs. per pair of load capacity - What is the minimum adjustment?  Can it get as low as 300 per pair?**
A: The 43048 has constant rate (linear rate) springs.  These are roughly a 60 lb per inch rate, so it will require 60 lbs to compress the shock one inch.  Then to compress the spring another inch, it will take 60 more lbs, and so on until it reaches full compression.  For some vehicles, this is a little too much assist early in the travel of the shock, so for those part numbers, the coil spring used has a variable rate where the first inch may only be 30 lbs to compress, then the next inch may be 45 lbs and gradually increasing to 60 lbs.  None of the Gabriel Load Carriers are "adjustable".

**Q: Will these work on a 1982 dodge ram 50/ mitsubishi mighty max?**
A: Yes they should as long as eyelets are same 
I purchased them for a 71 Ford truck

**Q: Is this a set or only for one shock?**
A: A set- left and right rear shocks

**Q: which has an overall stiffer spring... Front or rear ?**
A: 43048 applies to multiple applications, all of which are for the rear.  Spring rate for vehicles varies based on weight of the specific vehicle and what it is designed to do.  It would be difficult to make a statement that front or rear springs have a higher rate for this reason.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 94 K1500 4X4 Love These
*by E***5 on January 9, 2024*

94 K1500 4X4 Stock, no lift, no leveling.Great Shock. Lifted my saggy truck back up at least 1.5", look cool, simple install. Before you screw up your ride with expensive leveling and lift kits, put a pair of these cool shocks on.I recommend taking a ratchet strap and cutting off the strap and then cutting off the hook on the remaining strap. So you just have the ratchet and the strap (no hooks). Then tie the strap back onto the ratchet and bingo you have a hookless strap that you can tighten up the shock with. In my rig it was even easy to install the strap after the shock was attached to the upper bolts. Compress the shock and install the lower bolt, then remove the strap. If you have your truck properly jacked up, you only need to compress 1/2 inch or less. Makes it safer and easier. If you don't know what you're doing, don't do it.Shocks are great, look good, ride good. It's a stiffer ride, but it's on a truck. I love them and the price is very reasonable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great
*by K***S on September 17, 2025*

Sits higher in the rear now, almost an inch give or take. Way less bouncing in the rear, solid quality too. Significantly stiffer than stock

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GMC 2004 Sierra 1500 RWD
*by E***O on September 16, 2025*

Installation easy. Just drop your diff and jack up the bed by the tow hook. Make installing them way easier. Hauled 2 scoops of 3/4 gravel for a garage I was doing and it pass with flying colors. Did this all day 2 scoops at a time for a combine of 10 scoops. If you’re looking for an affordable set of shocks that actually work when carrying heavy loads i recommend them. Also a smooth ride.
