Fixed wobble on my 2017 Tahoe 4x4

Background: Tahoe 4x4 with oversized tires (22). I had a weird vibration in the rear at high speeds when going over bumps or bad roads. A quick internet search will give you a long list of things to consider as the probable cause of this problem - of course I was disappointed as I didn't want to break the bank with costly and unnecessary repairs to fix the problem. Next step: First I tried different tires - the same size. Problem still exists. THEN I balanced the wheels elsewhere. Problem still exists. That's when I panicked as it looked like I had to go to a car dealership ($$$). I drove the car back onto the new road and everything was fine until I hit a pothole or bumpy road. I swear it felt like something was dangling or swaying. With any luck, if the vibration did occur, I suspected it was a suspension issue, not a shaft or alignment issue. Then I got under the car and got up to check the rebound. Being a large vehicle I wasn't expecting much and was surprised to see excessive vertical movement when I was only doing push ups with my hands. Considering the price I thought it was worth changing the rear shocks. As a result, Tahoe no longer wobbles! For DIY: Easy removal and replacement - two screws and a jack are needed to easily raise and support the car. It took me 45 minutes to replace two shock absorbers. Features: As expected, smoother handling - no more vibration and the springy feeling I had in the rear is gone. Can't comment on durability, but I'm happy with the overall quality and handling. I will update this review if I have any issues in the next 50k miles as I expect they will last that long.
