I've been searching for help on replacing my front shocks on my 2007 Chev Suburban LTZ with the premium ride system. Can I replace the front shocks with heavy duty shocks and not worry about the auto-ride shocks. I imagine the only problem would be I may get some warning about the suspension system. Any thoughts or help? Just trying to get a new shock without breaking the bank (which the premium shocks would be).

 

I am also searching for front shocks for my 2007 Suburban LTZ with the Z55 Autoride. My dealership quoted around $1k.

A local off-road shop says they've found ranchos that will fit, but they are "quicklifts" that will add 2". They've quoted around $600, including labor and taxes.

I am concerned how the lift will affect the look, ride and handling. I purchased the vehicle used about a year ago because I wanted a nice touring vehicle, not for off-road use.

I hope this helps you, digger, but I also would like to hear any thoughts or ideas before I decide what to do...

 

While you might be able to fit the non-Autoride shocks on, you'd still have to deal w/ the sensors. And you might be able to fake the computer w/ the correct resistor value, that might have implications for the ESC (Electronic Stability Control). But if you use Google, you'll find a treasure trove of info on this subject.
