Default Has anyone put rear gabriel load carrier shocks on their blazer?

I have been trying to decide which shocks I want to upgrade to in order to eliminate some body roll. I know having a thicker shock will do some justice but the sagging effect of leafs can still hinder this.. So I came across these shock/springs for the rear and thought it would be nice to have those, especially since I do not have a garage to do much work on my blazer right now. Now I am just looking for some feedback if anyone has used these on their blazers or possible other rigs. They claim to have 500 lb additional load capacity per pair and would be something for me to easily install on my day off.

Forgot to metion what blazer I have

1997 Chevy Blazer 4x4 LT
Suspension wise: All stock
Engine: stock

I do not plan on lifting this blazer anytime soon, Just am wanting to get the most handling out of it while at stock height. Also will take in suggestions for doing other handling upgrades. I plan on doing the newer blazer front two piston calipers as well.

I have used load levelers in the past on a plymouth duster I had and had no issues. I think they do what they advertise.

the fact they are 60ish bucks for a pair,you cant go wrong. I was going to get some for kicks but from what few threads ive found on them people claimed to get a little lift out of em. I like my low stance.
