Getting ready to replace parts and looking at Gorman vs Detroit Axle.
Wondering if anyone has used either and opinions.
TIA

Sorry, I should have at least responded, so that you know that we are actually here and reading.

The previous owner of my new-to-me 2007 Yukon XL Denali had a passive aftermarket suspension on it. I was not happy with it, and the shocks showed signs of leakage. I can't remember the specific brand, but it wasn't one of the better quality brands of aftermarket shocks.

I changed back to OEM GM parts on my suspension, and the ride was much better. Since then, I use only GM parts on my suspension, except for the sway bars (Hellwig). They are pricey, but you can get much more reasonable pricing with online GM parts retailers.

I've seen threads from folks here who have been happy with Bilstein, Rancho, and Fox shocks.

Has anyone tried or is using Detroit Axle suspension parts?

I have, all front end parts I bought thru them. All tie rods, lower ball joints and upper control arms.

Detroit that is. Always have. Had a 97 4wd expedition on 35s. All suspension parts and hubs.

Detroit Axle is what you use to sell the car and don't care about the lives of the next family who buys it.

IMO, there are no kits worthy of consideration. GM OE or ACDelco Professional/Gold which is same as Dorman CK Series and there are some others already mentioned.

As for me and my house, GM OE or ACDelco Professional/Gold when OE is not available.
