Shocks for 1999 Yukon?

[lunytnz]

I have original (Bilsteins, I believe) on my 99 Yukon XLT with 4x4 (just over 200,000 miles).  The ride is fine, but I feel it bottom out on big bumps.

 

I don't have any complaints about the OEM shocks, otherwise.  I do tow a snowmobile trailer from time to time.

 

Are there any aftermarket shocks out there that have features (maybe adjustable?) that are clearly worth it and I wouldn't want to miss out on?  It seems like basic gas-charged shocks will be roughly $100-125 per corner.  So, $400-500 total.  I doubt I would want to double that amount, though.

Where are you pricing out shocks?

 

You aren't missing out on anything with adjustable shocks, not on these vehicles and what you are using them for.

 

Online you get can new AC Delco front shocks for $45 each in the heavy duty line and rear shocks are $33 each in that same line.

 

52555 and 52542 are the part numbers if you want to look them up on rockauto. Even the Napa Reflex shocks that are good shocks are still going to be way under $100 per corner.

shocks won't cause it to "bottom" out, check your suspension before guessing it's the shocks
