Keep the tail level when you're hauling or towing with the Monroe Max-Air MA817 Rear Air Shock Absorber, sold as a pack of 2. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1978-1995 Chevrolet G10 and G20, the 1979-1995 GMC G1500 and G2500, and the 1978 GMC G15 and G25 (all engines). The built-in air chamber can be inflated or deflated up to 150 PSI to help maintain level height with additional weight up to 1,200 lbs — capacity is limited by the vehicle's suspension, tires and transmission, so consult the owner's manual.

  • Air adjustable: a special air fitting resists air leakage and ties into the factory air system where applicable, or inflates manually with an air compressor (accessory/hose kits vary by application).
  • Exceptional handling: full-displaced valving on the compression and extension cycles for a smooth ride.
  • Built to last: hardened, precision-ground 1/2-inch piston rod, a sintered iron piston, and a lubricated air sleeve that reduces friction.
  • Consistent ride: OE all-weather fluid with special modifiers to handle temperature extremes, reduce friction and support smooth rod reaction.

This premium-grade unit uses loop bushing and sleeve mounts at both ends with a rubber dust shield included, and measures 12.75 in compressed, 20.875 in extended, with 8.125 in of travel. Country of origin: United States.
