    So what I've learned from yall - go OEM on front suspension!

    dont forget to do a trim height re-calibration after you install new struts. mechanic should have a scanner that can do this. My autel can do this.

    Dont forget teh 5% discount code at rock auto. do a search here. There's a running list for the 5% coupon code for rockauto. I did not replace the uppers on the shocks. they looked fine. $300 for labor is a steal. It's not just replacing the shock. you have to compress them to remove the...

    Arnott MR4262 for replacing front Magneride Z95 suspension info

    I believe we only have 91 or 87 here at the costco pumps. My mind is blown with the mpg on these big trucks. I'm running stock on 91 fuel and average 19. It can do well over 20 on the highway. That's crazy for such a big truck.

    Arnott MR4262 for replacing front Magneride Z95 suspension info

    I drove mine for a bit, but it never settled down. It was so bad it felt like it would bounce and catch air over speed bumps. I recommend getting just the shocks and keeping the OEM springs if you want a plush ride. Did the passive arnott come with air as well? and how did you bypass the...

    Another Magneride question.....

    I measured before and after. from wheel arch to mid fender, it was 6 inches with arnott springs. with OEM back on it's holding stead at 5.5 inches. (20 in rims)

    Another Magneride question.....

    @Big Mama confimred. the Arnot springs are physically thicker than OEM. i swapped back my old ones and the ride quality is much better. the car no longer hops over speed bumps. the Arnott springs included in the Arnott quickstrut is garbage for the yukonxl.

    Arnott MR4262 for replacing front Magneride Z95 suspension info

    Major update: I could not take it anymore and installed the stock springs back in. The Arnott springs were significantly harder to compress. The coils were 50 % physically fatter than the OEM springs. My regular clamp compressor could not hook properly due to the coils being so fat. i purchased...

    Aftermarket Magnaride Bouncing

    Me neither. I ended up taking off the Arnott springs and putting stock springs back on. MUCH better now.

    Aftermarket Magnaride Bouncing

    I have a similar experience when I installed aftermarket Arnott magneride. It rode great at first, but after 1000 miles, it seems to have gotten more bouncy. I do realize the feeling "bouncy" is subjective and I think partially, I have gotten used to the ride and now am noticing every single...

    New coil springs to make life easy?

    Hi, I Don't think there are bearings in the shock mounts. Only Struts like Macpherson type have bearings. you should replace them if they seem damaged or collapsed.
