Hello. My rear shocks have been leaking now, and the air pump runs intermittently while driving. I'd like to replace the stock shocks with newer quality ones, as I do camp and drive in mountains. Any suggestions? Also, is it really $2900 - $4600 to replace rear shocks and air pump? Seems a bit high.
I live in Southern California where everything costs more...

Thank you.

You can change the rear shocks and compressor yourself, if you do any wrenching and have a floor jack and a pair of jack stands. Go to RockAuto.com or GMPartsDirect.com and enter your VIN. I estimate that the compressor (GM or Dorman) will cost about $300, and the rear shocks (GM OEM) will cost about $350 each at these vendors.

Wow. Is that what the dealer really charges for that? I did this on a 2015, did the air compressor and both air shocks w/ magride. I couldn’t have spent more than $1000 in parts?

Just ordered new GM Genuine from Rock auto (is currently cheaper then arnott) and its about 1200 for 2 z95 magnaride active shocks and an air compressor. They should be here next week, so next weekend should be installing
