Amen brother....that's a nice looking layout for sure. I see that the suspension includes "third generation magnetic ride control with twin-tube shocks"....I'm not sure if I have 1st or 2nd generation on my burb, but the shocks are $250 each....I can't wait to see what they get for these now that they are twin tube....
Magnetic ride control was developed for the Corvette, and has migrated across vehicles. I drove a Cadillac DTS with it, and it really made a difference. It was amazing how much difference the shock could make in a short time.
Yes it's wonderful...makes a 3/4 ton truck ride like a luxury sedan. I am a fan of the technology, but not the cost of repairing it....I see you sold your 2500 burb before you needed to change the shocks. I wound up disabling auto-ride on my burb because I couldn't bring myself to spend $1000 on a set of shocks.
Now that the new shocks are twin-tube those repair costs are only going to get worse...
