Blown MagneticRide Shocks..? Buy OEM or

[SizzlingSkilletz]

I am torn between buying oem replacements or should i go a different aftermarket route? I want to best ride possible of course, I already have 33" f rated tires so the ride is already rough as it is. I dont mind spending money on higher end, I spoil my truck with the best of everything

Side question:  how many miles did you have when the shock failed?

when i bought the truck at 78K they were already out, rode like a freight train but i had no idea what the issue was. just assumed it was the tires until someone educated me. a shop owner i talked to says they only last about 90K

I just replaced my magneride with eibach stage 2r. Rides much better. The magneride shocks are not blown. Less than 30k on them if you are interested but i would recommend trying a regular shock.

I love my Magna-Ride shocks. I have had 3 K2 trucks before this and the Rancho shocks on them were ok, but nothing compared to these on my Denali.  Even my 2019 High Country shocks didn't compare to these Denali ones.

I went with Arnott shocks on the back of ours since the front are still good.  It doesn't have the magnet ride, it has resistors in it to keep from getting a CEL.  Rides great and we still have the air shock part to keep our Suburban at factory ride height.
