will these work for suburbans that just have standard shocks, i.e. manually pump them up for leveling?

no. an air compressor will have to level them based on the control system that plugs into the top of the shocks. You are much better going with a standard shock design. it will be much cheaper and work better if your vehicle is not desinged for these shocks.

I used them on a 2004 lesabre with level ride system easiest shock I have ever changed no other things needed, but I heard sometimes new air fittings needed

correct .... they will work if you have mounting extentions . you have to know what you are doing , and know how much jeep is lifted - so shock does not "top out "

Yes, this is the correct kit for your truck. If your current front shocks are in good working condition there is no need to replace them. Adding 2.5" is still within the working range of most stock length shocks. However, if your shocks are worn or if you do much off-road driving, you may want to consider upgrading to a longer shock. Most shock manufacturer's offer a shock that is 2-3" longer to accommodate leveling kits. Since the installation of the leveling kit is the same as the installation of new shocks, it may be a good time to do it. We recommend the Bilstein 5100 series shocks. They are a good high-quality shock that works well with the leveling kit. Installing this leveling kit to the front of your truck will have no affect on the rear suspension.

I would have to say no. These are air shocks that rise when you put air in them, not lower. You want air bags and even then you are going to have to completely modify the spring perches and shock mounts. Don't know exactly how you are going to do that, but lower? Don't think these are what you are looking for...

I have an 88 suburban. It was a little narrow. I was able to make it work. I don't think it matters which console you have.

Yes, I had those on my 2007 Suburban. Worked perfectly. No difference in the 2008 as far as I know.

Tom, the shocks are shorter than your stock shocks. They fit, but the ride will not have the travel of the original shock. So if a much stiffer and easy to bottom out ride is ok, then this is a solution to lower your ride.

Yes they will work on hydraulic and electric landing gear type levelers. On some you can replace the stock foot plate with the Steadyfast footplate, but on most with the heavy duty round foot plates you can either weld the heads of included bolts to the top of the footplate, or use our optional bolt kit which includes flat head bolts and a countersink for the bottom of the hole so the flat head bolts will be even with thebottom of the footplate. On the Big Foot system the included bolts can be used to bolt to the angled edge on the foot plate.

Yes they will work. They have a gradual incline so a lower vehicle will clear. These are amazing and totally worth buying.

Yes. I used them with my rough country lift to level it out better and out another spacer up front to get 3.5 inches of lift. The bottom mount for the shock fits perfect but the top you will either need spacers to make them fit right or do like I did and just tighten down until snug. The mount up top ain't nothing but sheet metal so it will tighten down on the shock. I got about 1.5 inches of lift.

Yes. They will work.Your 98 Silverado and my 93 Suburban have the same threading. 14mm x 1.5"The 22mm is in reference to the size of the nut itself, not the internal thread. These are much more narrow than the 22mm from the tip down and then flare at the base. Will work for standard rims but will also accommodate custom rims with smaller lug holes. Also they are closed ends so they will extend slightly past the stud when installed.

you need to get the ones for a four inch lift, or they will not have enough rebound. They are great shocks, mine are for three inch lift, check application chart.

I installed these in combination with rear air bags so my suburban didn't squat at all. The shocks alone won't prevent squatting but definitely will firm up the ride and prevent body roll. Good luck

Yes it will work but your leveling kit will most likely come with new extended shock mounts.

They're just shocks they won't raise it any.You'll probably need an add-a-leaf for towing or an air bag system of some sort

The picture shows a long to with tube pads on it indicating it will work with a suburban which has four doors. the product I received was a shorter tube with only one pad which works for only one door on each side, like a pick up. On your site it had a place for me to put in the make and model of my vehicle and it said it was for that vehicle. the vehicle I am foot was a 01 2500 suburban.
