These are the ones I went with. Mechanic confirmed OEM parts. One note, the new springs raised the front about 2", Making the truck level.

Just some things I noted after replacing the Magnaride shocks that may help others with troubleshooting. When I first got the vehicle, I installed a 2" leveling kit from Rough Country along with spacers for the ride height sensor connecting rod. Everything worked well together to continue the advantages of the electronic shocks. Time went by and two of the shocks need to be replaced. I got all four new OEM units with the fronts already assembled with new springs ready to install. When the work was complete, the new springs raised the front an additional 2" making it higher in the front than rear. We removed the leveling kit and ride height sensor spacers to return it to a now level ride. The suspension didn't seem right and the ride was rough. After some brainstorming I reinstalled the ride height sensor spacers as the control arm was in the same location as when it had the leveling kit. For me this solved the ride height difference over stock without having to have a dealer reset the ride height calibration.

Tons of Magnaride threads in here and pretty confusing for me, so I thought I would share what parts I installed today. Ordered and installed Dorman part #949-705 for the rear and Dorman part #949-730. Both are supposed to be direct, active replacements. I have a 2019 GMC Yukon Denali w/22 wheels, Magnaride with max towing package (air shocks in back). The Dorman units were an easy install and so far are performing as stock. All the electrical connections were really easy, and the air shocks aired up as soon as I started it up. The hardware included was crap, disappointing for an expensive Dorman unit, so I reused the original nuts, bottom strut clips, etc.

so i searched the Dorman part number 949-730 front magnaride strut assembly.
the prices are for individual strut assembly.
the prices are for individual strut assembly.
Just want to add an update on this. So roughly a year and 30k miles later the ride on my Denali has gone to crap again. Not as "bouncy" as the stock suspension had become when I did the replacement, but pretty close. But the ride is now even rougher than the stock units when they went bad. I reached out to Dorman to check on warranty, and so far no luck, so I cannot recommend these units if their lifespan is 30k miles.
