Replacing shocks.

[05Yukon23]

Alright guys, in a couple days I will be ordering shocks. I have a couple questions though. I think I will be going with the edelbrock IAS and wanted to see if 1) someone had a better shock in mind and 2) what you guys think of replacing the bushings on my sway bars and such? Any input would be GREAT.

 

[05Yukon23]

Anybody?

I'll go ahead and ask, why edelbrocks? are you trying to keep a factory like ride, a firmer ride or a softer ride? what's your budget? As for replacing bushings, if you get under there and they look worn, i'd recommend some energy suspension bushings.

 

[05Yukon23]

Thanks. The bushings do look worn, some even appear to be falling apart. On to the edelbrocks. I have chosen them because I have heard good things about the IAS series they have. Also I found the shocks for about $63 a piece for the back and $87 for the front and that didn't seem too terrible. I'm open to suggestions on the shocks though. I haven't been through many.

Any more advice? Anyone?

 

[Alex33]

I wish I could be of more help Jonathan. I wanted to firm up the ride in mine, so I chose the Bilsteins. I don't have any experience with other shocks so I can't make other suggestions.

Thanks man, I was looking at cost and I might end up just ordering the leveling kit with shocks from Tony. Just need to decide if I can spend the extra money.

May I ask where you are getting ias shocks for that cheap

i just replaced the shocks on my 03 tahoe with rancho 5000 series currently on sale thru 4 wheels parts wholesale and am happy, definitely firmer than stock but not too stiff. i've used these shocks for years on all of my trucks and have never had a problem

They were on amazon. They have jumped back up over $100 a piece now though. Wish I would have just jumped on it while they were so low. Ended up going with the factory ac delco shocks.
