Special Note: Chevy Suburban and Yukon XL came 
with two different shock options. One with Air Ride 
Load Sensor Shocks and one with out. Part # 14965 
will work on both. If the vehicle that you are working 
on DOES NOT have the Air Ride Load Sensor

conjunction with the new shock relocation brackets. 
Or if you prefer, after market shocks may be installed 
into the stock location. If the vehicle that you are 
working on has the Air Ride Load Sensor Shocks, the 
stock shocks need to be re-installed in conjunction 
with the new shock relocation brackets. This option 
is for the front and rear of the vehicle.
