Replacing front shocks

[optimusprime]

I’m looking into buying a used rig. 2018 Denali XL. The front shocks need to be replaced. What do y’all recommend? OEM or is there a better aftermarket option? I’m assuming the magna ride is what I want to keep? On my older 2008 I replaced the active rears with passive shocks. What do you use?

Use Arnott or GM, if you buy GM you have to transfer the coils, Arnott ships complete units with new coils. I didn't want to mess with transferring the coils over, so it made my choice a pretty easy one. Bought them from Rock Auto

So active over passive?

 

[Loki223]

I stuck with active, because i wanted to keep the ride quality of the magnetic shocks

Do you remember the part number?

$1,000 to do them, that's what scares people away. If you are having a shop do it, you can get the factory GM ones, i believe the GM ones come with a life time warranty, while arnott is only 2 years, even though Arnott makes the factory ones
