I agree Fred. No problems with the Bilsteins. My theory is rear eye breakage may be from improper jacking sequence (not releasing air spring pressure before lifting). I only know of KYBs from other applications. They are as a rule very stiff shocks. This gives good control and firm ride, but on washboard surfaces can cause the tires to get skittish as they can’t respond fast enough to maintain tire patch contact. The TZE probably has enough GVW for this not to be an issue. GM AC Delco partnered with Bilstein back in the day as Delco Bilstein. My 93 S15 Jimmy SLT with factory soft ride package had these shocks
