About Gabriel

Gabriel has been specializing in the design and production of shock absorbers ever since it was established more than one hundred years ago. Over the years, the company has experienced immense growth with its product offerings and manufacturing capabilities. With product excellence, great customer service, and teamwork as the core values behind everything that it does, Gabriel successfully became one of the pioneers in the automotive industry.

Gabriel’s humble success story started in 1900 when Claud H. Foster, an American entrepreneur, invented the multi-tone automobile horn using the concept of a trombone, calling it “Gabriel’s Horn.” Taking the company’s name from this same invention, he then founded Gabriel® - a company that would later become synonymous with technology-advanced products. In 1907, Gabriel produced the first-ever direct-acting shock absorber known as “The Snubber”, and in the early 1980s, struts were added to its product line.

Today, Gabriel is one of the leading shock absorber manufacturers, producing high-performance shocks and struts for more than 96% of all vehicles in North America in both the aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) categories. It has maintained its success through continuous product innovation, state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, and top-notch customer service. And if you've ever come across the word "OG" in the transportation industry, then that refers to none other than the company that started the automotive shock absorber industry—the Original Gabriel.

Gabriel Parts

When it comes to ride control, no other brand understands it better than Gabriel®. It has been producing and supplying shocks to the heavy-duty trucking industry for more than 50 years, so it knows exactly what’s tough and durable and what’s not. All Gabriel parts have been proven to perform better on- and off-road for years, time-tested, and improved to meet the changing demands of fleet operators and commercial vehicle owners.

Gabriel’s products are categorized into two: heavy-duty products and light vehicle products. Under the heavy-duty products, you can find two of the company’s most popular product lines: the FleetLine® Shocks and the GasSLX® Shocks. Meanwhile, under the light vehicle products, a broad range of shocks and struts are included. Here are some of the Gabriel products that you may include in your list for your next fleet maintenance schedule:

Gabriel FleetLine® Shocks

Gabriel’s FleetLine® shocks are manufactured following strict OE specs and standards for precise fit and performance. They are designed as direct replacements for commercial OE shocks, so rest assured that they will fit seamlessly into your vehicle. And since they feature a valving rate that compensates for initial truck suspension softening, they are guaranteed to provide performance that specifically matches the original shocks that came with your unit.

But aside from proven performance, FleetLine® shocks are also guaranteed to deliver durability and dependability even in the most demanding conditions. Here are some of the added features and benefits of each Fleetline shock:

• Made with forged solid steel, 360˚ arc‑welded eye rings, end mounts, and a pressurized piston ring that compensates for wear
• Incorporates a caged piston design for superior damping abilities along the entire spectrum of operation
• With a self-compensating and rugged piston seal for reduced fade throughout the shock life and consistent damping ability
• Has a multi-lip piston rod seal for an extended product life
• Equipped with a super-finished chromed piston rod for superior corrosion resistance

FleetLine® 83000 Series

Whether for short hauls, long hauls, downtown, across town, or out-of-town driving, the Gabriel FleetLine® 83000 Series shocks offer maximum durability and performance. These shocks are engineered with a 1 3/8” bore, which is ideal for light trucks or heavy-duty truck suspensions. They also feature a best-in-class hydraulic stop that provides unparalleled durability and inhibits shocks from topping out and suspension from over-extending. And since they are designed to be more rugged and robust, they are highly recommended for Class 3 to 6 vehicles.

FleetLine® 85000 Series

For Class 6 to 8 vehicles, buses, and trailers, the Gabriel FleetLine® 85000 Series shocks are the best options since they come with a larger 1 5/8” bore that provides greater tensile strength for harsher operating conditions. They also have a bulged design that offers increased fluid capacity and cooler operation in extreme conditions. The FleetLine® 85000 Series shocks are proven to deliver impressive performance, unrelenting strength, and reduced fade your vehicles can always count on. So with these shocks on your fleet, you can expect your rigs to stand up to whatever the road throws at them.

FleetLine® Cab Shocks

Unlike the first two options, the Gabriel FleetLine® cab shocks are considered the strong yet silent type. They are explicitly designed to eliminate cab vibration to keep your truck running smoothly. They are available in 1”, 1 3/16”, 1 3/8”, and 1 5/8” bore sizes to address all cab suspension and designs; plus, they feature a unique gas-cell design for reduced fade from fluid aeration.

GasSLX® Shocks

If you’re looking for adjustable heavy-duty shocks that never compromise on comfort, then the Gabriel GasSLX® shocks are your best bet. Designed for use on trucks, trailers, and buses, these shocks feature three adjustable settings: Regular, Firm (closest to OE ride performance), and Extra Firm. These allow them to provide customizable comfort and control no matter the road condition and payload capacity.

Ultra™ Shocks and Struts

Now, under Gabriel’s light vehicle products, the Ultra™ shocks and struts are among the best options for today’s vehicles. They are engineered with Gabriel’s exclusive G-Force™ Technology for improved comfort and control, quicker response, maximum performance, and longer life. They also offer Infinitely Variable Damping for on-demand control on all road conditions. And since they feature StableSteer valving, they provide improved tire contact with the road for optimum safety, control, and performance.
