Gabriel 34057 shocks on front of an A-body?

[DusterDaddy]

I had a guy suggest to me over the weekend to try running a pair of these shocks on the front of my son's Swinger. He says it eliminates that classic A-body front corner downward pitch while cornering.
I have never seen anything about them posted here. They do have about the same travel dimensions of the stock shocks. Wondering if I should try them?

He has The V8 with AC bars in the car as I do in my Duster. This guy swears these shocks do wonders for the cornering.

Personally I would look at replacing your torsion bars instead of using a shock like this. As the mounting points on the front end is not designed for carrying the weight. This is similar to when people use air shocks on the rear for worn out leaf springs and end up stress fracturing the hole at the top mounting point At a cost of $150 a pair for an additional $65 you can get a set of 1.03" torsion bars.
