Oem Front & Rear Shocks

I am selling the OEM heavy duty red shocks that came on my truck as part of the Z71 Package (front & rear). These are off an '06 1500 Z71 with less than 10K miles of highway use. These shocks are made by Tenneco, the same company that makes Rancho shocks among others. They are in great condition with no damage (only slightly dirty as you would expect). Someone should be able to get many thousands of miles of additional usage from these shocks. I know these shocks will fit a wide variety of GM trucks/suvs so please verify fitment before buying. $85 shipping including in the Continental US (other areas will be higher). PayPal accepted. Please PM me if interested.

hey, will this fit an 2002 chevy silverado ext-cab? 2wd?

thanks

 

I'm not sure they will work on 2WD trucks. Doesn't yours have coil springs in the front instead of torsion bars like the 4WD's?

I, too, have an '06 1500 Z71. I assume you went to aftermarket shocks. Which ones, and how do they work compared to the stockers? I'm looking to upgrade.

I went with Bilstein HD shocks. The difference is quite noticeable. The stockers were too "soft" for my tastes, nothing else. The Bilsteins firmed up the ride nicely and the truck does handle better.

    • This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com. 
    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
