24-186643 5100 Series Front Shock fits 2002 2006 Avalanche with 2-2.5" Lift - Monotube Design, Fade Free Performance, Optimal Performance

easy to install, look fantastic heavy duty shock. my 2004 sierra feels brand new the ride is excellent. very impressed. bang for buck for sure

05 sivarado ext cab Z71 Z hieght slightly over stock I.E. bump stops cleared about 5/8" A little bigger than stock tire /285 /70 /17 With torsion bars options seem to be a little limited as per ride quality but I believe these shocks do help They strike a nice balance between firmness of the truck and smoothness I find the difference to be they allow the suspension to react and move quicker and farther than the stock shocks which could be thought of as soft but they do not allow any excessive movement. I have been searching for a balance between good street ride and heavy duty durability, with some balancing experiments on tire pressure, load and trailer duty I find these to be a really good shock and well worth the price I did have to slide the boots down the shock quite a ways to relieve the crinkle but after 2 months multiple duty Yea well worth the time and money

Put these shocks on my 06 Avalanche with the timberin suspension enhancement system my ride is greatly improved highly recommended

Direct bolt on replacement for my original shocks that were really shot after 130,000 miles. Considered the OEM Bilsteins but these got such great reviews that it really swayed my decision. These are very expensive but it was worth every penny. Initially felt slightly stiff but either I'm getting used to them or they are loosening up slightly. These really restored my ride quality. I've hit some potholes hard that I couldn't dodge and these really do a wonderful job dampening. General highway driving I would say that the ride was firm but not harsh. Going into bends these help keep the truck level. Braking dive changed drastically for the better. Overall money well spent. Even the guys at the local garage had a good time making fun of them. "Hey look at the truck with the chrome bilsteins!" Although they are actually a brushed aluminum housing they do look good. Thanks Amazon!

I installed these on my 2006 Tahoe LT 4WD after I installed lift torsion keys and took it up around 1 3/4" inches in the front to level it out. I can't stand the jacked up back end look. No more diving in the front at braking and they seem to soak up the bumps much better than the extended factory shocks. To be honest though, by cranking up your torsion keys the ride will still be stiffer than the factory ride even with these shocks. You end up felling more of the smaller cracks and imperfections not so much the big pot holes though, these shocks take care of that no problem. I installed a pair on the front in the driveway in about an hour. Don't go with the goofy extenders on your factory worn out shocks. These are worth the money and will make you smile after the first ride down the street. I drive 98% on road a year just to let you know. Buy these and play it safe and be happy. You can tell the quality of these shocks right away. You wont find a cheaper price online either.
