mad 05-18-2006, 03:31 PM Because GM refuses to install Bilsteins from the factory. JC 1911 05-18-2006, 03:38 PM Dose GM know how bad these shock are. ZL-1 05-18-2006, 03:50 PM Chances are they are aftermarket and they were the cheapest to supply these in large quanties to GM. JC 1911 05-18-2006, 05:30 PM I would think for for the price we are paying for these truck that GM would back these shock.:( Thankful 05-18-2006, 05:38 PM I would think for for the price we are paying for these truck that GM would back these shock.:( I agree JC! We shouldn't have to pay an extra $300 to replace the shocks on a $45,000 truck. My truck now has 13,000 miles and the rear end bounce is not tolerable. I'll be going with the Bilsteins soon. mattydmax 05-18-2006, 06:47 PM My truck also has 13,000 and the Bilsteins are in the back seat waiting to be installed!!!! AussieDMAX 05-18-2006, 07:01 PM I dumped the stock shocks at something like 5k miles; just by compressing them by hand and releasing them you could tell that 2 out of the 4 were already completely useless.......... Cheers, AussieDMAX banshee42096 05-18-2006, 09:09 PM nothing is going to be perfect with the vehicles what do you think were driving a ferd):h . everything puts more on the price. i felt my truck rode good with the stockshocks just wanted it to ride even better. JC 1911 05-18-2006, 11:55 PM Has anyone gone to the dealer and try to get the shocks replace under warrenty.:( markzrt1 05-19-2006, 04:10 AM Has anyone gone to the dealer and try to get the shocks replace under warrenty.:( Why would you want stock shocks put on again?:badidea: JC 1911 05-19-2006, 01:35 PM Markzrt1 Point well taken about stock shock.Now here I have a 40+ thousand dallor truck that is less than 3 months old and needs new shock.Next my wife is not happy about a new truck needing shock with only 5800 miles on it.:( Why would you want stock shocks put on again?:badidea: mad 05-19-2006, 01:52 PM Hmm, shocks may fall in to a different category but let's define the work "need" on this site. I personally "need" a new tranny, lift pumps, traction bars....):h Her, "why doesn't it come with a stronger tranny? why doesn't it come with a lift pump?".......;) zr2yz125 05-19-2006, 02:32 PM Hmm, shocks may fall in to a different category but let's define the work "need" on this site.
