How Much Did New Shocks Cost You?

2024Denali · March 2, 2020

What type of shocks did you roll with?

And what, with install, did they put you back?

am guessing $200-400 labor and whatever the shocks cost.......not many would be needing new shocks quite yet.....basic set of monroes or something probably $75 ea.....

the guys who lifted change theirs out but those are usually offroad and or coilovers…..

what shocks are you looking at?

Eibach Pro-Truck Sport ride height adjustable - $480 for all four

Installed myself but did take the struts to Midas to have them swap the springs - $100

Mine came with the truck. In all seriousness it depends on what your looking for oe type replacements prolly around $75ea. Aftermarket for a lift or something no idea. Labor around $50ea to install.

Did you get the springs from them or swap the oem springs?

I swapped the OEM springs. Set on the third ring I netted right at 1.75" lift and it made my measurements front to rear exactly level. 2019 CC Z71. These shocks completely eliminated the hobby horse bouncy ride that the OEM Ranchos had. They do make smaller road irregularities that the OEM shocks just soaked up more apparent but it's by no means objectionable. The OEM shocks were downright dangerous if I hit successive large bumps at highway speed.

Nice, thanks for the feedback. I’ve been debating on what suspension to go with on my TB due to the reasons you mentioned. I live out on country roads and I’m tossing the Rancho pogos in the trash I’m sick and tired of nose diving into corners and bouncing around on the smallest road imperfections.
I wasn’t wanting to spend 4 grand plus on icon or king so I went with the same setup as you but got the springs from them too. My plan is to run the struts on the lowest perch, but use my oem 2” spacer. With the taller springs I’m hoping for a little over an inch on the the front with my top spacer of 2”, imo that’s perfect not wanting much more. I’m planning on tearing into things this weekend. I hope it all works out, can’t wait to feel the truck with tighter suspension. I like feeling the road when I’m driving, it’s feedback and that’s always good.

I have the icon stage 1 fronts set at 3 inch, bilstein rear shocks with 1.5 rear blocks. Drives pretty decent, a little firm but handles really well. Well worth the upgrade . 1500.00 in the setup total so it's not too bad.
