Front shock recommendation for 2500 suburban
So at 100k miles my 2008 2500 suburban needs shocks. My front tires exhibit cupping and I will be replacing the tires soon. As I have read up it seems the front shocks are the most likely culprit, but...

Buy Bilstein 4600’s, great shocks and that blue and yellow looks nice.
I do have the yellow n blue on my 15 DRW fronts. To do it again I would get the 5100's as they are designed for stock to 2" lift and are the same shock. 5100's are black and silver, MUCH better looking IMHO.
Just put 5100's on my stock, silver 2012 2500Hd...look nicer than the yellow/blue. What was shocking is the fact that the truck only has 30k and the original shocks were easily compressed and had no rebound at all.
I replaced the Brazilian made shocks on my 11 RAM DRW at a very low mileage. They were shot and one was leaking, easily compressed and retracted by hand.
The shocks on my 15 RAM DRW are Nitrogen US Made. Probably did not need to replace but the Bilstein's did control aftershock a bit better. Bilstein does not make a rear shock for the 3500's with factory rear air ride. If they did I would not replace them as the OE are doing well.
