GMC/Chevy Z-71 Shock Replacement
I am sure there are many members on PY with GMC/Chevy Z-71 pickups of different vintages. I am curious what brand of shocks you have tried as replacements and whether or not you were happy with them. Also, when did you replace them (mileage vs. age). I have a 2006 with 163,500 and plan on keeping this truck so it is time for new shocks and tires to try and restore the ride quality. Thanks in advance for any and all advice and opinions.

I used Bilstein's on my 2005 Tundra double cab a few years ago. I believe at that time it had 115,000 miles on it and one of the OEM shocks was leaking. I gave the truck to my son a while later and it currently has 180,000 miles on it. No issues with the "new" shocks.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
