Z55 shock replacement

[Captn Jack]

I have a 2013 LTZ with the Z55 RPO Suspension. I just purchased this used, and now has a leaking fron shock, and it appears the rear auto-ride compressor and shocks arent working. Has anyone used a conversion kit to non magnetic controlleed front shocks with success? The price of replacements is over the top.

On my 2004 Cadillac EXT I replaced the front shocks, rear air shocks and air compressor with gear from Arnott Industries.

I found the quality to be top notch and the prices, while not cheap, were not "over the top" like the OEM parts are.

I prefer to keep my equipment functioning as close to designed as I can.

And, if you insist on deleting the air leveling system, Arnott also has the kit to do that properly.

Remember, if you decide to ditch the air shocks, you should also need to change out the rear springs since the ones on your air shock equipped truck are of a much softer rating than the shocks on a regular truck and the rear end will be a lot bouncier and will sag more under load.

Thanks for the feedback - probably just going to change out the front Magnetic ride shocks with a kit, and replace the compressor and Air ride for the rears.
