Planning on re-doing my front end suspension, should I go AC Delco or there is much better aftermarket solution?

I used OEM for most of my components, Moog or AC Delco. Other suspension however you have options... I'm installing these this week. QA1 Double adjustable shocks with Hyperco coils.

that might bit too nice for my use lol, about 4 years ago I have installed 4" SST lift kit, believe they utilize blocks on OEM struts, this being said it would be a time to do it right now along with other “bunch of parts”

Just FYI... The half ton GMT900s don't have any of the items in parentheses due to having rack & pinion steering.

Maybe was looking at the wrong year/trim

I figured as much... just didn't want to see you order stuff you didn't need.

 

[Chrismnj]

Have that annoying front end clunk once in a while, hopefully that would take care of that.

Dropping my truck to the shop. Front end work so far, will have them install new tires, since it's a 2012 guess is a time to do TPMS. Anything else you guys would recommend?

+ MOOG K160311 Coil Spring Seat

they are overcharging you for a some of those parts....didnt check the price of all the parts but off the top of my head...

4 GM TPMS (part 13586335) are about $50...$260 should buy about 16-20 sensors

2 Moog Upper Control Arms (RK80669 & RK80670) with Ball Joints already installed go for $70 ($35 each)

2 Moog Lower Ball (K6541) Joints go for $20 ($10 each)

Yeah I know about the slight overcharges, made a deal with guys at the shop on something

Slight overcharge is an understatement... The work quoted there should be 75% less than what's shown. Not sure why you're paying for TPMS anyways, most shops near me replace them for free when you mount and balance a tire, it's pretty standard practice. Discount Tire, Belle Tire and most others are included in the mount/balance price and if not they are only $50 for a set of 4... No reason for the ball joints to cost that much either, as someone else mentioned you can get a brand new control arm with them installed way cheaper. The only thing that is normal I'd say is the alignment, the rest is a rip off. I paid $18/tire to mount and balance my summer tires today and that included new sensors, $180 is way too much. Mine came out to $180 and that included $80 for winter tire storage and $50 for a new tire replacement under road hazard coverage.

According to USA Today New Jersey is on 5th place of the most expensive states to live in, and if it wasn't for Camden we would be on 1st, with all seriousness made undisclosed deal with the shop, so they spread the cost of other work between these line items.
