Hey all,
New member, first write up, ill try to be quick. I live in new orleans and the roads are ruined- im talking cracked concrete slabs, potholes, uneven pavement, tree roots, ect. I just bought my first 01 Tahoe LT 5.3L V8 4-wheel. At 171K miles, its time for shock replacement.
Now, I just ordered 4 Bilstein Heavy Duty shocks from tirerack.com for a grand total of 290 bucks. here is the link to look for yourselves:
https://www.tirerack.com/suspension...el=Tahoe+4wd+(New)&autoYear=2001&autoModClar=
The manufactures Part # for the front is: 24-065009
and the rear: 24-143806
Both part numbers are exact for this Fitment chart that is attached to this post.
This thread link, posted by BZBATL, was my resource for doing this job myself:

I have bought billy shocks before and put them on my 89 BMW 325i back in high school. I know how to do this job as it should just be unbolt, new shock, rebolt, I just wanted to make sure I did not miss something or a part I might need, or anything that might be off.
If anyone could please advise on this, I would be very grateful. I apologize that the write up is long but its necessary.
Thank you for reading.
