Review: AC DELCO SHOCKS - Theses shocks fits a 2001 Tahoe 4x4, AC Delco is like OEM if not better. They mounted very easy. For a good shock the price was reasonable. I tried Monroe, Bilstein shocks. I had Bilstein on it for about 2 years now They didn't hold up it let the front drop and busted my bump stops. So the best I've found so far is the AC DELCO.
Review: Nice replacment. - I needed to replace my front shocks. These are OEM replacements and they worked great.

## Features

- Super-finished chromed piston rod inhibits corrosion and provides a more consistent wear surface
- Piston seal adjusts as it wears to maintain a tight seal between the piston and pressure tube. This minimizes leak paths for a longer, more consistent, product life.
- O-ring provides constant pressure to the inner tube and makes the valve less susceptible to dirt, wear, and fatigue leading to longer service life
- Drawn over mandrel (DOM) pressure cylinder for a smoother surface and less resistance, resulting in increased service life
- Fits: Chevrolet: 2007 Silverado 1500 Classic, 2002-2006: Avalanche 1500, 2000-2006: Tahoe, Suburban 1500, 1999-2006: Silverado 1500. GMC- 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 Classic, 2000-2006 Yukon XL 1500, Yukon, 1999-2006: Sierra 1500

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice replacment.
*by G***N on October 25, 2023*

I needed to replace my front shocks. These are OEM replacements and they worked great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Out of three, one was clearly defective.
*by J***. on September 6, 2025*

I bought three and two worked perfectly. Stiff and not easily retracted. However, the third was weak and could easily be retracted by hand.
