Hi there,
Anyone send me in a right direction for a good pair of shocks.
2002 Dodge Durango 4x4 4.7.
I bought a pair 2 weeks ago, they are:
Gabriel 77905 MAX CONTROL Monotube Shock Absorber.
I was told they will work, I installed them and they are compressed almost fully. I was wondering if they didn't work cause the truck has option 1 on it, which is the bigger size tires.
P265/70 R16.
Would this make that kinda of change, so the shocks I bought were for the stock tires?
Thanks, I attached a picture of the shocks I have on there now and tires bounce every bump. almost loose control on corners. I pushed down on from and no movement. The look fully compressed.
Thank you for any help

That # is the proper premium Gabriel shock for your Durango according to Gabriel's catalog. Look at your torsion bars if the truck is bottoming out.

 

Great, I will give it a go today. Thank you, I will return and write what happens. Thank You for the reply.

 

What a nightmare trying to loosing the bars. I'm still at it, just one. Someone threaded them all the way in. there is 20 threas sticking out. Going at it again tomorrow.

 

Hey,
I just wanted to tell you that you idea about the torsion bars worked. It was hell LOL But it worked, shock's and height are correct.
Thank you once again

I did the torsion bar crank on my Rango and it was interesting at first but went easier towards the end. I installed the Rancho 5000 shocks on mine. Rides nice
