ok,
now i want to use the gabriel shocks on the front of my sierra (or something long but cheaper)
The hiace ones are not long enought but the commodore ones are pins.

will the pin to eye adaptor for tought dog etc suspension fit these shocks??

or is there any other option (cheaper) for long shocks in the front?

I am running a spoa set up with shock hoops.

thanks..

josh

( i did search but couldnt find much )

What?
Look for a longer pin and eye shock that gabriel make.

Or do you need a eye to eye shock thats long because of shock hoops?
Get 2wd hilux gabriels.

[jmd-247]

yeah thats the problem.. i need eye to eye.. not eye to pin..

so hilux 2wd are eye to eye?? and longer than hiace ones?

[SierraDan]

yeah longer than the hiace and eye to eye.

if you have shock hoops everything you read about shocks fitting stock mounts is useless do you

You are better off arming yourself with a tape measure and measuring the compressed and open lengths between your mounts and then looking in the book for double ferruled shocks at whatever length is suitable.
I would thing GQ wagon rears would be close but look in the books.

found some today..

hilux 2wd rears. about 50mm longer than the hiace shocks.

royce, yeah i realise this, was just after a cheaper shock rather tahn spending big bickies on some. its a bush thrasher all the same.

want 33's i did this. but couldnt find many the right length with eyes at each end. these ones will do for now..

thanks for the help!
