Gabriel 61715 ProGuard Rear Shock Absorber for Light Trucks, SUVs & Vans

The Gabriel 61715 ProGuard is a heavy-duty rear shock absorber engineered specifically for the performance demands of light trucks, SUVs, and vans. Delivering better-than-OE response, this shock is built to restore ride comfort and handling confidence on both daily commutes and more challenging road conditions.

At the core of the ProGuard design is a 1-5/8" (41mm) large-diameter piston bore that provides increased tensile strength, durability, and performance. The larger reservoir tube also increases oil capacity for improved heat dissipation, helping maintain consistent damping control under load.

Key Features:

• Large-diameter piston bore — delivers better-than-OE response and superior control
• Increased oil capacity — larger reservoir tube improves heat dissipation for longer shock life
• Super-finished chromed piston rod — inhibits corrosion, ensures proper seal lubrication, and provides a consistent wear surface
• Leak-proof piston seal — minimizes oil bypass for maximum shock control and extended product life
• Low-friction oil seal — reduces friction for greater comfort and wear resistance
• D.O.M. (Drawn-Over-Mandrel) tubing — reduces internal wear for longer-lasting performance
• Stock ride height — direct OE replacement, no modification required
• Non-adjustable valving — plug-and-play installation
