Im needing to replace the shocks on my k2500. It is the 8600 GVW. When i am looking at shocks I see different ones for the the 2 GVW's for the the front but not the rear. Is there a difference between the 2 GVW in the rear? When i asked at the parts stores about it all I get from them is uhhh I don't know.

Look up both trucks and see if the part numbers are the same?

My dad's old 96 C1500 has rear shocks that I bought for my 99 K3500. They're Gabriel's. I ran them for awhile until I bought Bilsteins.

If you look up Bilsteins they list the same PN up front for 1500-3500. Rear is the same for 1500-2500 with 3500 getting it's own PN.

Ok thank you guys. I didnt think to look up the 2 different models of trucks to see if there was a difference. Goes to show sometimes the easiest thing can be one of the hardest things to figure out.
