Confused

2004 Yukon Denali,. Can I put standard gas rear shocks in place of the air ride? Garage said no they were different mounts but I've read here that I could

They have some kits but the cost has came down on the OEM stuff so much, I'd just keep the auto ride functional

So regular $100 gas shocks won't mount? The compressor and shocks are shot so it doesn't seem worth the money to me. I don't tow anything

The mounts between the Autoride and non-Autoride are the same. So, if you get shocks for a non-Autoride Yukon, they should bolt right in. But, you usually get what you pay for with shocks so a $50 shock (assuming you meant $100 for both sides) may not be ride so well or may not last very long. I've never shopped around for alternative shocks, though.

Thanks guys, I think I'm going with the bilstein 4600's

I replaced my autojunk with 5100`s. Some people say you should also replace the springs with Z71 springs. A few guys on here don`t believe me when i say its absolutely fine to run them with regular shocks. I finally remembered to take a picture of my yukon with 800 pounds in the back to prove that they`re up to the task.

Just because you park over by the trailers doesn't mean we don't all know you were over there getting your nails did. Lol.

I usually have around 400 pounds in the back and tow my yamaha rhino on my 6x12 trailer, It`s about 2000 pounds total and it`s rock steady at 75mph. I can`t remember who was basically calling me a liar about my claims but they have been added to my ignore list.

I replaced my springs with the moog HD z-71 springs and it rides much better than the wore out springs. And when I tow my big trailer it sits 1/2 higher. And the 4600 shocks make the taho ride like a caddy. Can’t believe how much of a difference it made. My old shocks were only 4 years old Monroe sensitrack.
Thanks to @Sasquatch. I bought bilstein.
