Hello GMTNation.
First post. I think? I have been lurking for a little bit reading as much as I can.
I recently purchased a 158k 2006 Envoy Denali 5.3 4wd.
Just replaced all the brake pads, rotors, and calipers. Not fun to get those back brackets off with hand tools.
Anywhoos,
I am getting the parts together to do a Spring conversion from Air ride.
I do not like the van ride and the leaky system.
I will also will be replacing the rear shocks and front struts.
I want to do a quick strut for convenience. And was having trouble finding anyone with anything in stock.
I know the popular idea is to go with the Bilstein HD and have a shop swap your coils for the fronts.
But if I do not go that route and put in a quick strut.
Does anybody have an budget quick strut they recommend?
I am low on funds and short on time for parts that are never in stock locally.
I had a set of Monroe 181341 Econo-Matic Complete Strut Assembly picked out.
But when I got to looking around at different websites, I was getting conflicting info on whether or not these fit my V8 Envoy Denali.
Summit racing and a few eBay dealers has this strut as only fitting the v6 Base Envoys.
Amazon had them listed as a fit.
Can anyone here confirm​ that the Monroe does NOT fit the V8?
I am also looking at a ​set of AC DELCO 903-015RS Professional Ready Strut.​
Ama​zon had this stuff ready to ship. Although a week or two out.
Also does anyone have info on what I do with the levelers to keep from getting a dash warning?
Thanks.​
