The twin hoes
I was just at a salvage yard... 95% of all GM suv's didn't have much of the front end usable parts left. But I was surprised how many good 'under-hood' plastic parts were left.- mountie

If a rear shock was changed, the springs MUST conform to the weight/strength of the shock requirements, or the ride can be ruined and/or unsafe. Specific OEM shocks are designed to...- mountie

What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
I agree...... It seems to look good, for the selling price, ..if it needs fixing, it could be a good price still. ( One observation..... The color of the carpets.....

Apparently Ford doesn't like profits: alienating the majority of Americans
"Facts" verses "imagination" / " cult thought" / " money"...... In the long run of ownership, considering tax subsidies we all pay into, ( manufacturing & purchasing an EV ), home charging / electric usage-fees, tire wear due to the weight of an EV, resale value , etc, .... EV : $17.00 ...- mountie

Shocks
The seller, inspects the vehicles for 'evidence' of newer shocks, he removes. The Sachs 'Nivomat' shocks he sent me were in a brand new condition ( The OEM decal was also original and clean) . I spoke with him, and he has been doing this for a long time. He also guarantees them.- mountie

My friend, Jon, with Truckee Surplus has nearly brand new 'used' Nivomats as a pair for less than $300 including shipping. He specializes in shocks also. He's been doing it for years.
