Magnetic ride shock replacements

[mb1500]

You adjust them yourself it’s just an external retaining ring (snap ring).

They use a ring and have three settings I believe when you order them you need to specify what setting you want. I heard people have had problems when changing the setting afterwards. It could be they need a new ring. I am still learning myself so take everything I say with a pound of sand.

I am more into trucks (rams) and those are very common on the half tons. And yes, different settings that are adjusted by end user. Wasnt sure if it was the same setup on gm’s.

Just got off the phone with Bill from Xineering and just telling you all to believe the hype - he was great! As soon as I confirm which of the wiring harnesses my husband cut to wire in the resistors (the ones to ride height sensors or the shock sensors), I will have our order in. Apparently they can sell those replacement plugs too. Score!

Yes, agreed, great product from them and I followed the instructions to a T and all worked. No lights on the dash after install.

I just got through installing KYBs strut assemblies in the front with the xineering sims. Ride height is back to normal and it rides so much better. Arnotts are in the back already. Now I don't have to deal with magnarides.

Hi There Thrust, I am going to replace my magnerides in the Rear for Arnott's, and I will do replace the fronts as well, could you help me with the P/N for KYB's that you used.

Thanks In advance.

Questions for the group.
I have a '16 xl denali as well and am replacing the entire suspension setup. Currently waiting for bilstein 5100 fronts to arrive and arnott rear delete kit.
GM parts group gave me 2 #s for front springs (gm#23312164 left coil spring & gm#23312165 right coil spring)

Stupid me ordered two of the left coil springs off of rockauto and they shipped already.
Anyone know the actual difference? Or recommend a pair of aftermarket springs?

A friend recommended Moog 81246
I cant imagine springs being different from left to right, but GM has so many different springs for each RPO

Probably be weight difference to combat lean.

So it seems lately places are starting to get the GM OEM rear Z95 magnetic ride control rear shocks in stock for our rigs and the price has jumped up significantly.

ACDELCO Part # 84176675 are now $435.79/ea. on rockauto

They used to be around $383+/- per previously on rockauto.

This makes the rear ARNOTT AS3066 option now $384 cheaper when replacing both rear shocks. Which is significantly more attractive.

I've been finding mixed information on the ARNOTT AS3066 rear shocks though. Some sites state they too are filled with magnetic fluid designed to work with the OEM Z95 suspension system. Some places say the plug that plugs into the OEM shock cable connection for those with the factory Z95 magnetic ride control is to just "over ride" the factory suspension system so there are no error codes.

I installed them and the ride seems pretty even. Fingers crossed
