    Gabriel FleetLine - no good - Jumps on every pit holes, Monroe - same. Do not install gas shocks on trucks. Suspension is not designed for gas shocks. You need OEM 100% OIL shocks. I put back OEM Sachs oil shock absorbers - much better.

    OEM Volvo Cab shocks that used to be made by Sachs were gas charged.

    The OEM Volvo cab shocks that are currently being produced by Monroe are also gas charged.

    Garbage, try getting them warrantied, it'll be the last shock you ever buy because a person won't ever pay that ridiculous amount of money for garbage.

    Are you referring to suspension shocks or cab shocks that you purchased were Sachs?
