Helps eliminate
cab vibration
The Gabriel FleetLine
Cab Shocks are designed
to eliminate cab vibration
and offer the strength
and durability
needed to keep
trucks running
smoothly. The
shocks are available
in 1”, 1-3/16”,
1-3/8” and 1-5/8”
bore sizes to
address most
cab suspension
and designs.
These shocks
offer a gas-cell
design that helps
reduce fade from
fluid aeration; a
hydraulic stop
that inhibits
shocks from
topping out and suspension
from over-extending;
chromed piston seal
for consistent damping
ability and reduced fade
throughout the shock
life; and 10-stage valving
to help provide consistent
control at all speeds
and under all operating
conditions.
