Greatly improved ride.
Most vendors say that this will not work on a 2wd but I took a chance and gave it a shot. I put these on there Saturday and found them to be perfect. My truck has a cap on it so the back always rides lower than the front. This has leveled out the truck. The shocks fit correctly and work very well. Would highly recommend installing these.

Good shock.
Prefect fit. Very smooth ride, cut out all road noise, handling is very good. Back to the original ride height, and very durable .

Great shocks!
Great shocks for the money! When hauling our 6200 lb travel trailer, only causes a 2” drop of the rear of my 1500. Easy to install, even fully extended and it being the 1st time ever changing shock on my own! (Just jack the vehicle up until shock bolt holes match up with mounting holes, bolt down and go!).

Great upgrade
Great upgrade for my 94 Suburban. The rear end was squatting when towing and honestly while just sitting and the overall ride wasn't great. I installed these hoping it would bring it back level as well as fix the ride issues.First the ride is way better and firmer. No up and down bounce after hitting a bump. These also raised the rear of my truck by maybe 1-2 inches. I'll probably end up replacing my leaf springs as they are kinda flat but that's a seperate issue.Installation was pretty straight forward, 1 bolt at bottom and 2 smaller bolts up top. The upper mount is a little thinner than stock but bolted up just fine. Being as these have springs they are nearly impossible to compress by hand and I had to get creative with a ratchet strap to compress then far enough to get the lower bolt in.Install time was about 1.5 hours including removal/install of wheels, jack stands and actually swapping shocks.I gave 4 stars for now but will update after towing my camper.
