I just replaced all 4 tires on my 2014 Sierra 1500 with 53K miles.
The damn thing has lost the ride quality it had when new.
I even had the new tires checked again to make sure they were well balanced.
I'm starting to think my shocks and struts are already worn out.
My complaint with the current ride quality isn't new and I thought the new tires would have resolved the issue.
Is is possible that my shocks/struts are already going bad with only 50K miles.

Any recommendations for a good shock/strut replacement??
I want my **** to ride like it did when new.
I've got PSI set to 34-35 on all 4 new continental tires. Same tire as original.

HELP!!

I'd only run new ac delco shocks in it if you want a new ride quality.

And if that doesnt fix it, I'd blame the tires.

I'm thinking that's what I'm going to do. They should last more than 50k miles.

I would normally bet that the tires are the problem. But at 75-85mph on a perfectly smooth interstate, the ride is perfect. If problem was tires or balance, that would not be the case.

I've had out of balance tires that vibrate only at certain speeds (45 mph)

Mr. Chainsaw

being in the repair field, I see shocks and struts go bad between 50-60k all the time. Even monroe recommends checking/replacing them every 50k.

If budget is not a problem, go with Bilstein's or Rancho shocks- http://4wheelonline.com/Rancho_Shocks.334. Monroe and KYB are good replacement shocks as well.
