Hi guys.. Newbie here. Owner of a 2003 suburban ls. Need new shocks but on a budget. What brand should i look for..

I ran Monroe Reflex's and Gabriels for years. Neither seem to last long. Few months back, my '05 Sub needed more shocks. I was ready to try something else. A friend highly suggested Bilsteins, but at $100 plus for each shock, way over my budget. I did some searching and found AJ-USA. They had the Bilsteins for around $58 each, no tax, free shipping. Honestly it's the first shock I've ever put on that you can feel the difference the first few miles you drive it. They were actually a couple $'s cheaper than the Reflex's. Only time will tell how long they last, but I'll never buy monroes again.

I have had better luck with Monroe shocks than I have had with Bilstein. And for the money I would buy Monroe again and not spend the extra money for Bilstein.

Stick with factory shocks.

I prefer my bilsteins on my z71 than any other shocks I have ever had.

I went with the OEM AC Delco's on my 07 and have been very happy with the ride...

Bilstein is definitely a good replacement for the stocks, but if your rig is lowered it will give a stiff ride.

Brother had bad experience with Bilstein on his tahoe and replaced them with Superlift. Or check out Monroe, couple of guys here have them without any complain.

Hi Guys, old thread but thought I would ask: what about Rancho? Are they any good?
