2017 Z95 Suspension Shock Replacement - Need Advice

[arep15]

For those that have gone aftermarket for shock/strut replacements, I am torn between three options and know members on the site have gone forward with both of these.

1.) Monroe Front Strut 139104 - $300
Arnott AS-3066 (Rear) - $700
ShockSims Magneride Bypass (Front) - $370

2.) Bilstein 5100 Front Pair - $290
Arnott AS-3066 (Rear) - $700
ShockSims Magneride Bypass (Front) - $370

3.) Arnott SK-3354 (Front) - $1000
Arnott AS-3066 (Rear) - $700

Price is a little more to stick with Arnott's up front but not opposed. Car is a daily driver and reliability/comfort is my main priority. Thanks in advance!

I’m curious to see what kind of responses you get for the rears. The Monroe’s for the front w shock sims seems to be a popular option and you can get them on Amazon now for $111ea.

I’m curious what you ended up going with. I have a 2018 Tahoe with the Z95 mag suspension and 22" wheels. I ordered the arnott SK3354 and they do not work. They were much larger about 2” taller than stock and the bolt pattern didn’t work to install. I contacted arnott and they are aware of customers complaining about the 2” increase over stock but didn’t know about the bolt pattern. I’m still trying to determine my path forward.

Update: I purchased another brand guaranteed fit westar model# AB104317. Same problem of the bolt holes not lining up and it being much larger that OEM.

I'm curious too, opened a different thread. Is magenride just a supply chain issue? Anywhere to buy them?
