Tahoe & Suburban The power, space, and brutal towing ability make the Tahoe and its longer sibling, the Suburban, arguably the best full size SUV's on the market today.

I'll check the fronts tomorrow and look for the connector you mentioned.

My 2003 Denali still rode like a dream, the bags had rotted away the pump had burned out long ago.


When I decided for the sake of safety and replaced with OEM shocks to replace the bad ones, she drove like new again.


I think our buttmeters get used to certain things over time.

Thats true, maybe I have become accustomed to a bad ride, lol. So you replaced the bad, with new air struts? or did you just go with conventional struts?

Conventional units. I didn't tow anything with it. it would have cost me a ton to get the system to work again.
If I had, I would have just replaced it with some air shocks.
