A bit about my ride:
So I have had my 2014 Tahoe LT 4x4 since February of 2023, it had 165k miles on it. It now has 177k miles. I have done numerous things on the vehicle such as, cleaning the throttle body, changing pulleys, serpentine belt. I have changed the plugs and wires, changed the alternator, changed away bar bushings etc. probably missing a few things.

My questions:
So I know these platforms aren’t the most “comfy” ride if that’s the word you want to use. I feel like no matter what, my ride is always bumpy. Like I feel everything down to the gaps in the road. I feel like it’s a bit excessive, every bump shouldn’t be jarring. Now to my knowledge my rear shocks were leaking. That’s what a shop had told me last winter. I didn’t notice any thing leaking so I kept riding it. Idk if they are bad or not. I just feel like my ride should be somewhat smooth in an suv like this. I would want oem shocks, nothing crazy. I just want to restore the ride to how it was if that makes sense and tbh idek how it was before. I’m the third owner. It very well may just be me. Maybe the factory suspensions do suck on these
