Owner reviews for shock absorbers

I used after market for shocks (Koni STR.T), and that went well.

Go for the Fox. I have them, I like them.

Fox 2.0s on my wife’s suburban, very happy with them.

Yes it really is cheap but I really recommend slurging for the Bilstein oe replacement shocks.

The Gas-A-just model is pretty stiff, go with the excel g’s. They have a much smoother ride.

I’ve been happy with the 6112/5160 bilstein combo. I just did it it at about the same mileage 245k. Rides smooth and absorbs bumps pretty well.

My factory shocks were all totally blown and I did replace those with Bilstein 5100. You lose the electronically adjustable shock valving by not replacing with factory but...meh.

I actually did Bilstein 5100 all the way around with .85” lift in front (to “level” out the rake) but kept my rear airbags and did a slight adjustment to the rear ride height sensors for the level. Mine rides great and I like that I still have the self leveling rear.

Add new Ironman shocks.

Actually, it rides worse cause I went with Bilstein B6
