Gabriel 61683 ProGuard Front Shock Absorber Heavy-Duty OE Replacement

The Gabriel 61683 ProGuard is a heavy-duty front shock absorber engineered as a direct OE replacement for light trucks, vans, and SUVs. Designed to deliver better-than-stock ride comfort and handling control, the ProGuard line is Gabriel's purpose-built solution for the tougher demands placed on full-size commercial and passenger van platforms.

The ProGuard's larger-diameter piston provides increased oil capacity for superior heat dissipation, reducing shock fade during demanding driving conditions — whether in stop-and-go traffic or on rough terrain. The result is consistent, stable performance and improved vehicle control over the life of the shock.

Key Features:

• Larger diameter piston — delivers better-than-OE response with increased oil capacity for improved heat management
• Super-finished chromed piston rod — inhibits corrosion, ensures proper seal lubrication, and provides a consistent wear surface
• Leak-proof piston seal — extends product life and maintains consistent damping performance
• D.O.M. (Drawn-Over-Mandrel) tubing — reduces internal wear for longer-lasting durability
• Extended Length: 15.07 in | Collapsed Length: 10.44 in | Stroke: 4.63 in
• Upper Mount Code: S11 | Lower Mount Code: LU1
• Interchange / Cross-Reference Part Numbers: 173839, 911256, 751141, 19235148, 520-403
