To add: here's a lookup you can do yourself for parts for your truck. Just be sure to read the details on the part to verify the RPO code fitment. While these shocks are discontinued, you may be able to use the part number from other sellers to find them if you're bent on OE only.

bilstein 4600's you can get them at your local auto parts store rockauto, amazon
BILSTEIN 24065009

{Alternate Inventory Numbers: 24-065009, F4BE56500H0}
standard height, no need to do anything with the springs
leave the rear nivomatt's alone, there is nothing worthy to replace them with.
Sounds like a good backup option. ( Gotcha.... no need for springs )

I'm researching the 2 choices of the front shocks. ( KYB # KG5040 " Gas Adjust" , or the Bilstien B6 4600 ).....
I JUST ordered the Hellwig rear sway bar ( about $600 with shipping) The Hellwig people suggest to try the rear first, before getting the front bar.
But, I'm installing the front shocks first, to compare improvements, one part at a time.
( Merry Christmas to ME !! )

If these are for your 2005 XL, the part numbers I showed in post #9 don't apply (they're for the SWB body). In the GM web site you'd want to use your VIN or enter the specific vehicle for which you're needing parts.

The price includes shipping.
ya so would $365 or $389 something around there which is one price i saw with a quick search, usually on a purchase price like that the shipping is free.
i'm poor I can't afford to over pay for anything i'm always looking for the best deal, lol
