I have an 01 Suburban with the DJM 3/5.5 drop. Hasn't even been a year and one of my rear shocks is bad so i need something to replace them...hopefully something that's more reliable. Suggestions?

djm shocks have a lifetime warranty so shoot me pictures of the shock on the truck and whats bad about them. Ive only had a total of prob 8 djm shocks go bad over all the years that ive sold them.

When I installed the helper bags last week, the rear shock passenger side pushed all the way in with one hand and little to no force and did not push itself back out.

To get a pic I will have to see when I can get it back up to the shop I guess. Do i need to take it out and take a pic?


I also have a concern about one on the drivers side front but I still need to pull the wheel and check it.

To be honest there was no oil on the shock. Just the fact that it could be fully compressed with little/no effort and would not push itself back out. While the other side was a bear to compress. Ill take a pic for you though.
