Front Shocks for 07 3500 GMC DRW DIESEL
Just got 07 GMC 3500HD Diesel TV. Front shocks need to be replaced. Looking for input on what other owners have used and the results. Like idea of air shocks but no experience with them. Thanks

- Many on here have had good luck with Bilstein 4600 shocks (yellow and blue). I've had them a few times and have liked them. Summit Racing is a good source for them.
Kevin - Put Bilstein 4600 on front and 5600 on the rear of our 08 in sig and made a huge difference. Both front and rear OEM stocks were toast.
- I have the adjustable Rancho 9000 on my 06. I like them, I have had them on for four years now.
- I had Bilsteins on my '07 SRW Chevy 3500. I liked them. I put KYB MonoMax on my '05 Chevy dually, I like them even better.
I don't know why you would want air shocks on the front. They are normally installed to help level out the rear with a heavy load, this shouldn't be necessary in the front. Even in the rear I think they're a bad idea. Shock mounts are really made to support weight but that's what you're asking them to do with air shocks. Weight should be supported by the springs, frame, and axles. Air bags do this much better than air shocks. Campteacher wrote:

x3. used the 4600's on the 04 for 150K miles, and put them on the 15 the week I picked up the truck. way way way better than the factory shocks.- Do all four corners, not just the front.
