Yukon XL rear shock
Thks. Yeah..spoke to him. My yukon has 145k on it and nivomats have failed. He sells used shocks so dont really want to spend $$$ on something that may fail quickly.

Yukon XL rear shock
Again...same old question. Nivomats on my xl are done. Need to replace. Looking at heavy duty rear springs and heavy duty gabriel shocks front and back. Total in parts $250. Otherwise...its $$$$$$ for any nivomat style shock. Monroe Makes a nivomat replacement kit..2 springs and 2 shocks ($350)...- me262
