I'll check it out. It seems this is common so I hope that's all it is. Thanks for your help!

I'm about done with my dealership as well. I'm capable of doing my own repairs within reason. I'm learning everyday. They have cost me over $2000 on unnecessary repairs and gave me crap about a recall fix I needed. I mean seriously? It's a recall! I put a 2.5 leveling kit on and apparently that causes every issue I have including recall ones. My warranty ran out a long time ago.

After further investigation by the mechanic the struts and shocks are fine in the front it just needed an alignment because the last shop who did it didnt do a proper job. actually they probably didn't do the front right at all. so it caused my tires to wear excessively and my suspension in the front alignment was off a lot and it was leaning in, towing in. So I got the alignment, got new tires and now the back end is making very much noise. squeaking clinking .and I don't know if it's the shock absorbers or what part it could be.... I really would like to know myself so I could fix it myself any help would be appreciated. I just need to know what to look for when I out it up and take the wheel off.

Thanks guys. I ended up ordering the assembly kits from parts geeks. I went with the Detroit axle strut kit. Just because I'm on a budget. And I ordered 2 new tires too. I have an appointment to get the alignment after all the repairs are done. Eventually I'm getting an actual suspension lift put on. Go big or go home! Lol plus everything is bigger in Texas right?

I have a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 4WD and we put on a 2.5 level kit 2 years ago. Now I need new Shocks/Struts in the front. Problem I'm having is should I replace them with a taller size to account for the level? Or should I stick with the normal size that I have on now? I should mention I also put on bigger tires when I did the level, 275/65/20 to be exact. I feel like not going up on the struts is why they are bad now and I need 2 new tires in the front as well Because of cuping. I'm in uncharted waters here because I am not experienced with struts yet. There are a lot of choices and I want the new ones to last. Any advice on sizing? Thanks!
