2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer LT

Make: Chevrolet
Model: Trailblazer LT
Manufacture Date: 2005
Question:
I run a paper delivery rout in Iowa, 100 miles each
Sunday on mostly gravel. Drive 70 miles round trip to work daily during the week. I am looking for shocks that have good control on the gravel and still maintain good ride qualities on highway.
Currently the trailblazer LT has its origional equipment shocks with
52,000 miles on them. Gravel road manners are good, Highway a little
floaty on anything but relatively new good condition 4 lanes. Can you
advise which brand will best handle my needs. Pricing for any of the
brands your system shows for my SUV are fine. Summary, little more control on gravel, little less float and more control on highway.
Thanks.
Answer:
More about “ride” is mentioned on our website here – http://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/shock_absorber_myths.cfm
To give you better control and handling, especially at highway speeds, you need to use a high pressure gas monotube design.
Of that design, the Bilsteins are the best (and actually, the most popular as far as sales).
