Guys I need shocks on my 2003 z71 that will ride softer. The original shocks are just to stiff.

What if any solutions are there?

Bilstein 5100 is what I used on mine. I do have aftermarket keys and rear spacers, so mine is a little stiff at low speed. On the highway it rides great.

Could have my girl climb in and out of your truck a few times to soften them up.. or I could give you a used set of shocks - just pay the shipping.

15 year old shocks? I would reckon that they do not operate as they originally did. New replacements might ride just fine by your tastes.

You can say that a 4th time but I'd spring for this deal. It's $188 all the way around plus you get rear coil overs.
