Hi All..
Get KYB's.. They are great.. And Jim K will stand behind them. The Bilstiens are known to be damaged when the overextend and damage their internal stops..
Just what I found out!

I just put a set of KYBs on my coach, and it really made a major difference in the ride from the old, worn out Monroes that came with my coach. Now, when I go over railroad crossings, it doesn't feel like a rocking horse anymore!
All the info on the web seems to favor the KYBs. I've long been a fan of Koni and Bilstein shocks for my Porsches, but not for the GMC.

We stock and sell both, KYB has a warranty that allows me to call it in
customers favor every time.
Only thing I hate about it is it's a Japanese product, and you all know how
much I hate the cars they make.

2 months ago we Bought the 6 KYB's from JimK due to the lower cost. Before the new KYB's we were bouncing on a cloud up front- UP and DOWN...after the shocks it rode much better. BIG Difference! Then we got the Alcoas, and with the correct PSI it rides like a DREAM- AND rides REALLY smooth!
