I have a 04 Escalade I like how the air ride works, looking to replace the front and rear shocks and the air ride compressor, thinking either Monore or Arnott, the Monroe ones work exactly like the factory ones by the Arnott ones are a lil different they still load adjust, does anyone run either?

For compressor, go with Dornan, cheaper and Plug and play. Don't get rebuilt ones. Not worth it. After that, why are your replacing? Failure? How many miles? Go to shock wear house, get their opinion. They have both. Lot of "enthusiastic" opinions. Also, read this if you haven't already.

Also, go to Amazon, read the reviews on the shocks. I have an '05, still running original on mine. Did have to drop in a new compressor and bags.

Got an 04 159k rides pretty good just a lil bouncy at times, nothing that bad, the rear shocks the rubber boot is damaged on both, they all say Delphi so guessing they might be the stock ones, when you start it up the compressor never comes on, no error lights etc. figured I'd do the rear shocks, compressor & replace the air lines, then do the fronts, I know its not a cheap setup to replace but with the condition of the rear shocks just don't want to screw around with it would rather just replace the back and go from there
