Shocks, what a difference.

[Wilsonos2]

This is my first post here after trolling for about a month. Bought an 03 LTZ for my daughter. She likes the TB because it's like a small Suburban. Has about 140k with original black Bilsteins. Just install the HD Bilsteins and ball joints. Wow what a diffence in the ride. Thank you for all the great info on this site. I'll be trolling much more as I make it better and better.

Welcome to the family. I think you meant lurking, but we got you.

Welcome. Shocks and struts are an often overlooked thing and make a world of difference

and are a relatively easy thing to do to, did the rear shocks on mine in under 30 minutes without even using a jack, just backed it onto ramps and man handled the shock into place.

Same here... Without the ramps

Me too. I just did the 5125s in about 20 min. I did jack the frame up to stretch the suspension due to my longer shocks and making it easier on me.

I'm a little late here with my reply but did the same to mine about a year ago. Love how the new shocks feel. Did all 4 corners. Completely happy. Was interesting getting the struts apart. Didn't have much trouble but you do kind of have a bomb in your hands for a few minutes in the process. Got the loaner tool from the parts store.
