Assuming I need to replace the shocks..........what's the recommendation?

I used the OE Gm Shocks when I replaced mine last year.. I wasn't having any
issues, but I decided to replace them before I started towing (and I added a
helper air bag to the coils too) since I'm towing really "heavy". I wanted
to keep the OE functions in tact. Some the arnott stuff just "tricks" the sensors
and does not keep the the Z55 autoride function, even though it does keep
the ride height/auto leveling.. It wasn't much of a price difference, so I decided
to keep the OE stuff
I kept my original shocks that work fine btw, just "in case"

Do you happen to recall what part numbers you used for your OEM replacement shocks? If not, no worries.

This is from rockauto website. AC Delco 5801092.. I "may" have gotten them
from amazon or summit racing.. I just compared for the best value with shipping/tax
etc... But summit racing has the very best warranty and return policies, so I try to
use them if they close to the price

This is for the RWD only

I'll have to go out to the back garage and see which ones I actually used - I have the
originals in the new boxes.
But it's snowing out right now.. so might be later today

I paid $220 for them from summit last year.. I see the price is $305 NOW
So maybe I price matched them or the the price is just stupid now.
Monroe makes an equivalent, but the price wasn't any better at the time

I checked the bladders tonight after I had the trailer connected and they were stiff/firm.
When I hooked-up the trailer the compressor came on after the load was there and the truck only came up ~ an inch.
The bladders were stiff/firm.......disconnected the trailer and ran s few errands, checked the bladders after the truck was off for ~ 30 min and they were soft........is this normal?
I am going to check in the morning before going to work.

They should never be soft... soft = leak.

Especially after only being off for 30 mins.

Time to break out the spray bottle and soapy water and start spraying the bladders and compressor and lines/fittings.
