Ordered shocks all the way around for the deathscalade. It became apparent that they’d reached end of life whilst on our trip to Indy and back.
Bad news is some how I ordered for a Silverado rather than a Suburban (did this because I no longer have air ride on the esky). I know the part numbers are slightly different but does anyone know if silvy shocks/struts will work on the SUV???
Gotcha. May run them a while and replace again later on then as I need to get them thrown in this weekend and I ordered these from RockAuto. Gotta be an improvement over what we’re experiencing currently. Like we’re on a cruise ship in a storm. It’s awful and just happened without warning surprising thing is what’s in there now are Arnotts which seem to have a good reputation. No idea how long they’ve been in there but seemed decent last I was underneath thereI think they'll fit, but would be valved too firmly.
I had some shocks for a Silverado/Sierra and they were STIFF.

not sure but sounds like I should research that?I thought Arnotts had a lifetime warranty. Or is that for the original owner only?
Just checked and the do have a “limited lifetime warranty” essentially means it covers squat lol
Actually I had them replace a couple of the spoof resistor packs on mine when they quit, their warranty department at least was easy to work with. The old parts had to be returned to them but they paid shipping, not sure but I believe they would send out replacement shocks and then you send the defective ones back. They do have different quality lines just like most manufacturers and the warranty varies from one to the other. I ended up buying the Bilstein versions for my 02 which you can’t get anymore so I’m not sure how they would cover my warranty. I think they’re 8 years old, maybe more, and still doing great.Just checked and the do have a “limited lifetime warranty” essentially means it covers squat lol

in my experience I ordered bilstein lift struts for my Tahoe but the shocks were listed and made for a Silverado.I think they'll fit, but would be valved too firmly.
