Anyone replace their stock shocks on a 2007+ with Bilstein's yet?

Do you have air ride? If so, you would only be able to do the fronts. The rears would have to be replaced with OEM GM shocks or Arnot.

Yes.

I do not believe I have Air Ride. So I should be good to go.

Did you put the HD Bilstein's on and how did it change the ride?

It smoothed everything out. It's a more even ride now, not as bouncy. It handles better and there is a lot less nose dive when I hit the brakes. Great shocks.

Haven't replaced them on and 07+ but every other vehicle I have done it on it is a great improvement.

No LTZ, No air.

How would they work w/the autoride?

There are electrical connections into the shocks on all 4 wheels of my 2009 Denali that adjust the dampening.

Yes, it's a connection in conjunction with a leveler (you can see the rod close the the rear wheels) that adjust the height encase you load it down with whatever that way it doesn't sag in the rear. You can also adjust the height to whatever specific height you want with a Tech 2. That way it programs it to add or deflate at a certain level/height.

We did an autocross in late 2007. Added dampers and coils to a 07 Tahoe, and compared it on a coarse. it was 2.8 seconds faster than another stock Tahoe with a bigger engine and autoride.

So check out the Pedders dampers and coils
