Get what you pay for.

Right out of the box, one held the print and the other didn't. The truck ran better for about a week and now it looks like a boat on the open sea again.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • No power

2002silverado direct fit

Fits as it should. Installation is not a problem, but here's how to stretch it ๐Ÿคช I still don't understand judging by the options in the review. Joking aside, good shock absorbers, good price.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Frequency

1 in use not happy with it

I bought two of these products, one came brand new in the packaging very happy with it and then I opened the other and found it was used and not damaged too happy with it.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Does size matter? (UPDATE: apparently yes)

They're twice as thin as the OEM and that worries me a little. Bought based on positive reviews from Revain. Just take a look. UPDATE: April 2019 Ok I've had them for about 3 years now and I'm not impressed. This summer I will be looking at shock absorbers from another company. Downgraded to two stars.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Might be ok, will not fit a 2003 Tahoe 2WD.

My problem is not with the shock absorber itself but with the compatibility list of the Revain cars. Bought these for a 2003 Tahoe (2WD) - they will not fit upper shocks. To be fair to Revain, it took 4 different shocks to open up at AutoZone (and tested with a new upper shock mount also purchased from Revain) before finding one that actually fit. So I have no idea how they can work - they came back in a box and go back to storage.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • There is nothing here

Bad reviews about what?

I don't know what the bad reviews are about. I've been wearing them for about a month and I have no noise and no discomfort. I had what is called a rattle, but that was due to the bottom bolt on one of the shocks not being tight enough. I think I didn't tighten it enough during installation. I have Avalanche 05. The ride is not rough or harsh at all. My old shocks made my truck float and now it drives like new. I suspect some of these bad reviews are from Chinese sellers of cheap shockโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
