Anyone ever heard of them? Getting ready to replace the shocks on my 2002 Suburban and found out that it has the ZW7 level ride suspension and it has this type of shock absorbers on the rear. Fine, except they cost over $500 for two of them. I love this Suburban but keep getting thoughts of selling it and getting a pick up truck, so don't want to spend that much if I can just put some good heavy duty shocks on it and it would be OK. It's a two wheel drive 1500 LT model that never tows or hauls heavy loads. I can buy a good set of regular shocks for about $100 so would rather do that if I can get by with it and be satisfied with the ride and handling. Looking on the net, some of the nivomat shocks ad's suggest replacing the springs too, but I will not do that. Any advice or suggestions? Do I really need those kind of shocks?
