Default Need opinions on rear air shocks

Going to replace original rear shocks on the Blazer.
Going to be towing a travel trailer with 400 lb tongue weight or loading the Blazer with 600 lbs deer corn.
Considering either Gabriel Hijackers or Monroe Max-Air.
They are both the same price and look very similar.
Please tell me any experience you have had with these either positive or negative or both. Also can they be mounted without a lift, looks like it would be very difficult to install the upper bolt without a lift.


Thanks in advance for your help .

I had the Hijackers on my old '01 Blazer Extreme. They were necessary for towing a 1050 LB pop-up camper. I had a bicycle rack mounted on the trailer tongue along with battery and LP tank. Maxed out, they leveled out the rear. Be careful how you route the air lines. Give them room for full suspension travel, and secure them along the frame so they don't get abraded.
