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.
Test FAQ Question
This for the Testing the sort order of the FAQ
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.
