Time to dump money into air ride system :(

So the last few days I have noticed an air leaking sound coming from the right rear of the truck. I've confirmed were it is coming from. Looking at the best place to get this fixed without going bankrupted. Anyone use this place? https://www.arnottindustries.com/part_GMC_yid15_pid78.html

I bought a set of reman'd GM air shocks and a new compressor from them. I believe it was $550 total for the package. Shocks went in and were plug and play. Compressor took a little bit because of the rusted bolts. Shocks still going strong but had to replace my compressor for a second time. Arnott gave me a good deal on the second one since my replacement died just over a year old. Alot of people use their stuff.

OK. I probably will just go with them unless I find a super good deal on a set of low mileaged used ones

Ordered a set of Arnotts last night. Wish me luck lol

How did the shock install go? I'm about to replace my shocks on my 07 Denali and wanted to know how hard it was? What all tools did you use?

Changing the rear shocks is a very easy job. you can do it with 2 box wrenches or even a ratchet and box wrench. you can do it on the ground without pulling the wheels if it's not too low to get under the rear.

It was a pretty easy job to do. I did both shocks and swapped out a caliper with a torn seal with in an hour. I did take off both wheels and also took out the plastic wheel liner. I could have done it with out taking all that out but it was super simple to remove it and it gave me more than enough room to get in there and do what I needed to do.

Hi everyone. I am a newbie here. I brought a 07' Tahoe LTZ about a year ago. Wanted to share some info on the OEM Z55 Autoride front struts and rear shocks. My front and rears are done, so being proactive I searched high and low. It took awhile but by checking the parts # and breaking the code. Amazon has them both for about $180 each. ACDelco 580-451 rears are $180.29 (http://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-580-45...ywords=580-451) ACDelco 580-433 fronts $189.08 (http://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-580-43...ywords=580-433)

Hope it helps anyone who might be looking.

I purchased the air ride springs from Arnott for my 2005 Buick Rainier, and was very happy with them. It took me part of a Saturday afternoon to figure it all out, but it worked out great. I will be going back if I ever had to.
