Anyone replace their stock shocks?

[177mph]

Looking to replace the stock shocks on my 2003 GMC Yukon SLT with smooth ride suspension. Looking to replace with stock or close to stock. Anyone do this recently? Whats the best stock replacement? KYB? Monroe?

Bilsteins, worth the extra cash, IMHO

i have Belltech Street Performance shocks and they're pretty close to the stock ride

Bilsteins are worth it if you have the $$$. I have KYB's in the rear and they are bouncy as hell.

Napa is selling replacements for 38 a shock - supposedly not "Smooth Ride" though. DO I have to go back to GM just to get the right shocks?

I just replaced my shocks with monroe reflex shocks and the ride is smooth as hell, was gonna do the bilsteins but didn't want to spend the cash and I am way happy.

do you have autoride ? i have auto and im about to replace my rear shocks with bilstiens. they have great reviews plus ive always loved bilstiens. i'll let you know how they ride. btw the rear two shocks for autoride are only $359

If you replace the stock Autoride shocks with Bilstiens, do you still have the auto-damping feature?

What about replacing the front shocks on an Autoride system? Do you have to get those from GM?

You just have to pull the RTD fuse under the hood on the autoride trucks, then disconnect the battery for a few minutes. Bilsteins for these trucks are:
Front - BILF4-BE5-E672-H0
Rear - BILF4-BE5-E380-H0

The fronts are for the hummer h3 but work extremely well on our trucks, only difference is the hummer shocks use an integrated bumpstop but are the exact same dimensions as the front application bilsteins for our vehicles.
