I have 2017 Suburban with 100k miles and just ordered the Arnott strut and coil assembly from shock warehouse to replace my magnaride; based on what I have read here, I have a high level of confidence this will be a nice fit; I have the following questions:
1. on a lift, how long should this install take me
2. do I need to replace anything else
3. will I need to get the truck aligned?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

It took me about 3 hours to replace all 4 and install belltech lowering kit on the rear. Did it in my driveway with jack and jack stands.
Front has lowering springs installed on Arnott shocks.
Don't need anything else.
Mine drove fine, but I still got it aligned.
Not much to it. Front - unbolt the sway bar links, disconnect the sensor wire, 3 bolts on top, 2 on the bottom. Wrestle the strut assembly out, install new one, bolt it all back up. I reused the factory hardware on the front. (bolts, nuts and the clip nuts).
Rear - support the rear axle, unplug the air line and sensor, 1 bolt on top, 1 on the bottom. You might find it easier to access the top bolt if you remove the wheel liner, I didn't remove it.
