Hi names Phil i need new front shocks for my 1989 Ford F250 i want to buy some Gabriel Load carriers since i have a heavy 351 big block engine its a 5.8L and my old shocks are about shot they spew oil and this might be my wandering problem
anyone here using Load Carriers? and how would they work cause my pickup sits to low in the front its supposedly:jerking: caused by the bad shocks

ok if the rear ride hieght is ok, but the front is lower than specs you'll
still need to bring front up to specs.how much is it off??is l/f/ r/f sitting
at the same level??how much is the hieght off??
i no your not looking to raise the ride but to bring it into specs.

just by a few inches or so its the shocks for sure though cause the lack of pressure caused by shocks creating more lean on my coil springs

well you can see how much the new shocks help,but if its not enough
you can install some spacers in the coil springs.
Good luck

the front is sitting = low check my page you can see what i mean in the profile picture.... i also have front susppension problems which is causing wandering some of my fittings need greasing and replacing like tie down rod ends and shocks they all are causing wandering problems
