Hi-
As mentioned I’m attempting to get the ride a bit smoother out of my 03 Yukon, but geez it absolutely bangs and smashes over the smallest road imperfections. Maybe next replace springs? I’m lost. Thanks

I have an 01 Suburban LT. I went with the KYB Monomax shocks. Ride is slightly firmer than stock but smooth. True test is no complaints from the wife or kids. I also replaced all the bump stops with OEM, sway bar bushings, and re-greased all suspension fittings.

the advantage line is one of gm's cheaper quality lines. I would go with some Bilstein 4600 or 5100 in the front. they will be about the same price or maybe a hair more but are a better shock. **edit, if the shocks you took off the back were bigger than the advantage line I would put the rears back on the oem nivvomatt's are hard to beat, they are pricey I think around $5-600 each or they used to be anyway

I am also running KYB monomax on my 03 2wd. Night and day difference with stiffness at stock ride height, but feels wayyyy better all around.
