"We have a 2019 GMC Savana 2500 Long W-B Explorer Vista-Cruiser Conversion Van. Rode really bad with the stock shocks. Purchased Bilstein dampers, which were a good improvement, but there was still a “tugging” sensation, from the heavy 20” wheels, combined with the chassis being “torqued” on mildly-rough roads. Did not ride level, whatsoever, front to rear. Rattles in dash. I remembered getting “unreal” results, decades ago, from Gabriel “Super-E” shocks. So, I decided to research your current models. Watched your excellent YouTube “selection” video, was impressed! So I ordered the MaxControl for the rear and “Ultra” for the front. The results: Like going from a tri-hull fiberglass boat, to classy wooden v-hull. The improvement in ride quality is staggering!!! What I discovered….. 1- On absolutely any paved road, including concrete, there is zero jarring. I see the undulations, and yet the ride remains relaxed. Tried to find surfaces that would “fluster” your product, to no avail. 2- No feeling of the chassis being “torqued”, which I had “assumed” was less than robust design. I thank God, I was wrong. 3- Near-flat (!!!) front to rear ride quality. It previously had the most annoying sensation, in this area. Almost as though it has “Interacting/Interconnecting Torsion Bar Suspension” (Ala 1956 Packard). 4- Audible dashboard-rattles 100% gone 5- Rollercoaster-bumps are perfectly damped and controlled, without the trade-off of rough ride. 6-No longer the feeling of the heavy 20” wheels, tossing their weight around, in a most annoying way. 7- Cornering is so well controlled, that there is no need for a rear-roll-bar. I have all sorts of cars and do all my own “wrenching” for decades. Also, a crazy perfectionist. With my experience, I fully understand that what the Gabriel team has developed, is a near-impossible feat. For my auto-enthusiast-Wife, and I, to be in shock is amazing! Thank you Gabriel!" -Bill in Lansdale
