Need new rear shocks on my 2000 Sierra z71. It’s all stock, and I’d normally just go w a stock replacement. But we just bought a 5500lbs camper that this truck will pull sometimes. And I have a skid steer that weighs close to 5500lbs w trailer weight added in.

is there a better shock for towing?

Bilstein 4600s. Search on any rv-type forum. Hands-down, the best shocks for towing. Made a huge difference on my Suburban 2500.

  Instead of cleaning the headlights I would like to get a set of LED headlights. Rock Auto has Halogen only or did i read that incorrectly?

  I think GM even offers a remote start accessory kit after sale. Requires programming from the service dept, but you get factory remote fobs and everything. Bug the sales guy and see if he'll find a way to include one to seal the deal? Power seats... I have no experience here, but the OE seats will have airbags so I'd be less inclined to go monkeying with modifications or trying to swap in a power unit from a higher trim. I love standard cabs. I'd have a V8, manual 4x4 if they offered one. My crew cab is my Swiss Army Knife of vehicles...it does truck things, it's comfortable on long trips, it carries extra adults in comfort, and it has room for keeping cargo in the cab when it's just the two of us. Fullsize crews are the modern fullsize car or wagon of 40-50 years ago and IMO they offer more versatility than a fullsize SUV like a Tahoe or Burb because of the bed.

  It's only value would be in scrap metal. No one is going to buy a rear diff that needs new guts. The scrap metal value in my area is $200 a ton so it might be worth $10
