Its drawn over mandrel pressure cylinder ensures superior sealing and reduced friction, while the high-pressure nitrogen gas charge minimizes fluid aeration for consistent shock response.

## Description

ACDelco Professional Premium Gas Charged Shocks are twin-tube passive replacement shocks for passenger cars, vans, SUVs, and light trucks. These shocks have a high pressure nitrogen gas charge along with chrome finished piston rods and drawn over mandrel (DOM) pressure cylinders. For additional ride support, ACDelco Professional Premium Gas Charged Shocks utilize premium Road Response Valving Technology that automatically adjusts to provide comfort and extra control by responding to changing road conditions during normal driving situations, and improved handling under extreme road conditions.

Review: My 2002 Silverado K1500 rides like a limo now, I love these shocks - These shocks were very easy to install on my 2002 Silverado K1500. I was removing a lift kit that the previous owner had put on the truck, and I was impressed with how much nicer the truck rides after putting these AC Delco Professional shocks in place of the Tough Country lift shocks that were on the truck before. I also adjusted the torsion keys to level the truck. The ride quality now is amazing. It had been pretty stiff with the lift shocks, but now it rides smooth and soft, but with no body roll or bounce, like a luxury car. The shocks soak up the bumps really smoothly, and being in the Midwest, we have terrible roads, so this is a very good thing. I absolutely love these shocks and if they ever wear out, I will probably buy them again. Not bad at all for about $35 each.
Review: OEM Quality - Exact fit! Restores original suspension quality. Promo shipment, reasonable price. OEM set lasted 300k miles, hope these close to same.
