Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and, please, next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the air shocks on this 2002 Chevy Suburban. It's the same part and similar process on these Suburbans with the air shocks from 2000 to 2013. The items you'll need for this are new air shocks from 1AAuto.com, 21mm socket and ratchet with an extension, 21mm wrench, pry bar, and jack and jack stands.
Start off by disconnecting this harness. Just pull up the tab and pull it free. For the air hose, you want to pull down on this clip and then pull the hose free. Then, push the clip back in to reset it. Now you want to remove this 21mm nut and this 21mm nut. Using a ratchet and a wrench, remove those and we'll fast forward as Mike does this. Jack up the wheel unless your vehicle is on the ground then you'll be all set and then pull those two bolts out. You can pull your suspension forward and out.
On the bottom is the old air shock. Above it is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and will fit exactly the same. Put your new air shock up into place and replace that top bolt first, and then, push the lower one into place and replace those bolts and the 21mm nuts. Push your harness into place and then push your air hose into place and you're all set.
We hope this video helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

I wanted as close as I could get to my air ride oem parts and was pleased with the results. My new to me 2005 GMC DENALI was in need of some serious overhaul. Installed without issues. Thank you so much.
Thanks!!!!

The parts were guaranteed to fit my 2002 chevy suburban. The front shocks were fine, but the rear shocks were not air shocks as claimed by 1a auto. I had to pay return shipping for the parts that did not fit, and I have still not heard from the company on receiving my money back. I wish all 4 shocks fit as advertised, and I wish return shipping was covered on parts that were guaranteed to fit, but did not fit under no fault of my own. After calling the support center to try to get an exchange, the operator kept saying the back shocks should fit and made excuses that the back shocks must have been converted, which I believe to be false.
Very easy install
