AC Delco shocks

I recently replaced the shocks on my 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD with AC Delco and I think they pretty much stink. My truck drove like a Suburban before and now I don't even want to drive it unless I'm loaded. Is this the norm for these shocks? I figured going with an OEM product would give the the ride the truck came with.

    Cheers ! :B
  • I knew you were going to say that. Guess I'll order a set today.

    The rebound being off would be a perfect way to describe how my truck feels.
    Thanks for the input.
  • OEM shock from GM are junk from day one.

    The compression is ok but the rebound is a mile off; at least on my truck is was.

    I put a set of Bilsteins on my truck and they are very close to where things need to be. Do yourself a favor and get a set.
