I want a pair to fit the FRONT of my 2005 Astro. Will these (or any others) fit? I currently have a pair of Gabriel air shocks installed on the rear

I believe they will fit, but air shocks or coil-overs are not recommended for the front. My 1999 AWD has torsion bars which are adjustable for ride height. If you have coil springs in front, airbags may be available. Also, I have seen a 2 inch lift kit for $200.00 which has spacers to lift the front and shackles for the rear. The problem with air shocks on the front is that when turning there is some stress on the lines, if there were a line failure at freeway speed, the results could be more disastrous. My recommendation for lifting the front would be torsion bar adjustment or sub-frame spacers.

No. Astro's have a single DIN opening. Now, with enough cutting, fitting, and engineering you can make anything fit.

These will fit the front. As the Element has a drum in disc rear brake assy they won't fit the rearWhich ever manufacturer you're considering purchasing best to check their website for proper fitment.

They are for the front. The rear are just shocks. Sorry for the delay; I just saw the post. Good luck!

I had them installed at Pep Boys. They offer a half off installion when you do any pair. Even if are not running teh special ask if they will install them under the promotional rate. They probably will.They had no problems at all. I was even able to use my original strut mounts as they were still in good shape. Have 5k on the full set and I have had no problems and the ride is as good if not better than the original shocks that dies at about 80k.

I couldn't say? I had just ordered 1 set for the back.If they are available for front , I would assume it may be a different item # ? Amazon would be able to answer this . I believe these are only back shocks so I would order 1 set. recommended.

I actually put them on a 97 honda hatchback. Needed adapters , after that fit perfect. Nice ride, had them on for a year now with no problems

They are front shocks, at least they are for my S-10. If you put in all the information about your particular vehicle, the system should only show you parts that work with your car...

I don't know if this will help, but my shocks were an exact replacement for the GM Air adjustable shocks for a 2004 Pontiac Aztek. If your motor home uses the same GM part, these will fit. I don't know how you go about verifying that.

Hello Sir, These shocks were purchased for my fathers Buick LeSabre and were the rear shocks for there auto levelling system. They may very well fit on the front for some applications that don't use strut's but I can not confirm or deny that. Hope this helps.

Should fit as long as you have the stock air shocks. would no longer fit on mine when I changed to Progressive Shocks.

I think you could hook them up to a manual air supply or override the onboard controls and do what you want. I have used air shocks with a manual fill before and it worked.

I think you can probably put them on but they are not designed for the OEM style shock you purchased. They are made to fit shocks that have an exposed piston rod without the steel tube like an OEM type has. I used it on a Monroe SC2928 Magnum Steering Damper. Look it up and you can see what I am talking about. Many aftermarket "offroad" shocks are built the same way and require a similar boot.

I would say no-but ask the manufacturer. The rear-wheel angel is completely different from the front-wheel angel, and I do no think they will work.

They fit on the back and give it about 2 inches of lift because of the springs but my front shocks are definitely smaller than these. But I am 100 percent sure they will not fit the front with out at least a 4 inch lift maybe 6 inch lift

Yes to answer your question.Had these put on my old 2001 Lincoln Town Car to replace defective air shocks that were standard with the car.Work was done by my garage mechanic and all went well.
