So I just checked GMC's accessory page, and when I set the vehicle to my 2020 AT4, the shock package doesn't show up.  Only for the updated body style 23's.  Any thoughts?

I had the same issue.  I am unaware of any design differences in the suspension mounts, so I'm not sure why.  I'm sure it will be figured out soon enough.

Because 23 is the first year of the silverado zr2 perhaps.. Not sure if there are any differences with suspension between those model years.

22 was the first year of the ZR2. I have a 21 Custom TB so the ZR2 wasn't even announced when I ordered mine. I already have the 6.2 with the 10 speed. The DSSV shocks would make it equal and not have all the future problem laden electronic dash. I have thought about trading mine for a ZR2 but the price difference is not worth the extra $25K+ I'd have to spend to step up to a ZR2.

Any updates on this?  I still don't see anything specifically available for my truck.  If anyone has ordered this, is it just the shocks, or does it come with springs for front and rear?

Comes with springs front and rear. You have to order for 22+ but it fits 19+ with factory lift. You can also piece together the kit. I got some of the stuff from junkyards and some from rock auto. Cheaper but a PITA.

Can you just order the shocks or do you have to get the springs?  I get the fronts are easier with the springs already as one unit, but the leafs?

Yea you can run without ZR2 shocks without the ZR2 rear springs. You'll keep the higher payload rating that way but probably rides a little rougher than the softer ZR2 springs. This is what i did.

How did you end up doing that?  Through the parts catalog or just look up the shock numbers independent?

I bought the rears from rockauto and bought the fronts from a junkyard.

What vehicle did you add them to?  I have a 2021 AT4 needing new shocks and am considering going this route if it’s a simple shock swap that I can do myself. I don’t want to buy new rear springs. Thanks.

I added them to my 21' AT4. Wasn't hard to do. The fronts are a little more involved but not a hard DIY.

Thanks. So you just ordered the 4x parts listed in this thread or the full set offered by GM?  I can’t find the fronts listed on any site but the full set is list around $3600. Where did you find your parts?

I purchased a set of new take-offs from a private party. It was listed on FB marketplace.

I didn't change the rear leafs as I didn't want to monkey with my tow rating (I tow my 5K boat regularly).

    • This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.
    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
