Gabriel® HiJackers® are the best adjustable air shocks.
They are perfect for temporary towing or hauling needs with customizable performance and support that can be adjusted and readjusted. HiJackers® inflate just like your tires – simply air them up prior to towing to reduce the risk of bottoming out. Once you’re done, just let out a bit of air to return the vehicle to its previous state. Whether you need a touch of support or half a ton, you have the power with Gabriel® HiJackers®.
Durable and built tough, every HiJackers® shock features a chrome-plated piston rod, 1 3/16” piston bore and superior wiper seal for extended life. A broad range of operating air pressure and a durable diaphragm provide reliability and performance you can only get from the Original Gabriel®.
HiJackers® do not increase vehicle payload. Do not exceed vehicle GVWR
They give you a much smoother ride by absorbing & damping feedback from the road. Ride control, safety & and the ability to steer & brake depend on having firm contact between the vehicle’s tires & the road - good shocks & struts ensure this happens.
What’s the difference between a shock and strut?
Shocks & struts perform a similar function but their design varies. Struts are an integral part of a vehicle’s suspension system. Shocks work separately from any structural function, absorbing and damping the bumps from the road.
My tires are unevenly worn. Do I need to replace my ride control components?
Possibly. There are many factors that can contribute to uneven tire wear; the most common cause is a wheel alignment. Worn ride control components can also contribute. Cupping of the tires is commonly seen as an indicator of worn ride control.
I have a light film of oil on my shock, does it need to be replaced?
Probably not. Shocks are designed to "mist" slightly & this film helps lubricate the seal as the piston rod moves. A light uniform misting is normal, but streaking patterns aren't and should be investigated. Remember: If it's streaking, it's leaking!
When should I replace my shocks?
Generally, Gabriel® recommends replacing your shocks or struts at regular 50,000-mile intervals to ensure a safer and more comfortable ride in most vehicles. Actual mileage intervals may vary based on vehicle specs, use, and environment.
