How do you replace shocks on a Chevy Suburban?
Jack car up and remove tires for easy access, then simply unbolt front shocks and replace with new shocks. On the rear some models come with a type of ride leveling shock that will be noticeably fatter than a normal shock, this type of shock called Nivomat MUST be replaced with a comparable expensive Nivomat shock or you need to buy a replacement kit that includes new springs and regular shocks, this kit uses different springs to compensate for the non Nivomat shocks. To replace rear shocks you would follow similar steps to the front, jack up car, remove tires and simply unbolt the shocks and re-install the new shocks in the same order.
