Gabriel Load Carrier Rear Spring-Assist Shocks, Pair (ES34 Mount) — Restores Ride Height & Improves Towing Stability

Gabriel Load Carrier Spring Assist shocks are rear spring-and-shock assemblies designed to restore ride height and improve stability when towing or carrying heavy loads.

Built on more than a century of suspension engineering, Gabriel Load Carrier shocks combine a gas-charged damper with built-in coil springs to resist sag and keep rear ride height closer to factory specifications under sustained loads. These rear units are sold as a pair and are engineered for frequent towing and hauling applications on compatible Chevrolet, GMC, Ram, Nissan and Jeep models. The design emphasizes durability, consistent damping and corrosion resistance so the vehicle handles predictably when loaded.

How do these shocks help when I tow a trailer?

Load Carrier shocks use variable-rate rear coil springs paired with a precision shock body to reduce rear-end sag and improve stability while towing. They don’t change your vehicle’s payload rating, but they help the truck maintain level stance and consistent handling when hauling heavy cargo.

• Variable-rate rear coils provide up to 500 lbs. per pair of additional support.
• D.O.M. tubing reduces internal wear for long-term performance.
• Chromed piston rods resist corrosion and promote reliable sealing.

Will these fit my truck and what’s included?

Gabriel provides direct-fit rear shocks for many popular full-size pickups and SUVs; compatibility depends on year, model and suspension options. Each package includes two rear Load Carrier shocks and uses the specified upper and lower mount codes for proper installation.

• Sold as a pair for the rear position — Extended length 24.24" / Collapsed 14.88" / Stroke 9.36".
• Upper and lower mount code: ES34 for correct direct-fit mounting.
• Check OEM cross-references and your vehicle’s confirmed-fit tool before purchase.

What durability and performance features are engineered into these shocks?

Gabriel Load Carrier shocks prioritize long life and consistent operation under load with a leak-resistant piston seal and heavy-duty construction. The drawn-over-mandrel tubing reduces internal friction and wear; combined with a chromed rod, this supports steady damping and prolonged service life in towing conditions.

• Leak-proof piston seal helps extend shock life under repeated heavy loads.
• D.O.M. tubing and chromed piston rod for corrosion resistance and consistent wear surface.
• Rated highly in towing-focused reviews for improved on-road towing feel.

How much extra load support can I expect and does it change vehicle limits?

The rear coil springs in Load Carrier shocks provide up to 500 pounds of supplemental support per pair to help maintain ride height and stability. They do not increase your vehicle’s factory GVWR or payload rating—always observe OEM load capacities and towing limits.

• Provides supplemental support but does not alter vehicle GVWR or legal payload.
• Designed for repeated towing and hauling use, not for increasing rated capacity.
• Recommended for heavy/frequent towing scenarios where rear support is needed.

Who is this for? If you regularly haul trailers, boats, campers or heavy equipment with a compatible Chevy, GMC, Ram, Nissan or Jeep model, Gabriel Load Carrier rear shocks are engineered to reduce sag, restore a more level stance, and improve handling stability during towing. They suit drivers who want a durable, direct-fit upgrade that pairs added spring support with proven shock technology for consistent ride control under load.
