Fit 2004 Z71 Suburban Fine

I should have gotten these 2 years ago, my Suburban climbed bumps pretty badly and the rear end wobbled left/right quite a lot when you rounded a corner on a deep bump. . Despite the red originals, they seem to go well with the series springs. Haven't installed the front ones yet but swapping out the rear ones was a big improvement. The bushings are a bit narrower than the original, I have maybe 1/8" play on each side, but I don't think that would be a problem. If that bothers you, a couple of pucks will suffice. Maintenance isn't a problem .May vary by application but to turn them on and off I used a 21mm deep shaft and a standard 21mm socket, although a wrench would be better than a ratchet/socket for the location.No problem with loosening screws. Easy with a 1/2" punch, can be difficult by hand. About 5-10 minutes per side to crawl the back without removing the hoops. You will need a large flat head screwdriver or pry bar to push them into position to get the 2nd screw in due to the gas pressure.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic
