I have Bilstein HDs and like them. I hear the KYB line is nice too.

When I removed my stockers I compressed them and two of them hardly rebounded at all. So much for the bounce test.

When I took my rearend out to put gears in the shocks stayed compressed the entire time it sat there.
I just ordered some Bilstein HD's. Can't speak for them yet but for a CC Z71 that's the route I would go.

I like my Bilstein HD's, do a title search on here for them, I started a thread about them a while back

Bilstein hd's ftw!

Try summit racing.
Try Tire Rack. They're like $55 each shock. Think they're the cheapest.

There is another site that had a banner at the top of the forums i was looking at this morning... cant remember the name of it tho, had the HDs for like $240 or something for a set of 4. Shock Warehouse or something?

Correct! We offer 5% forum discount and Free Shipping for orders over $95 (lower 48 states).

Let me know if there are any questions. The HD's are a durable and affordable shock for non-lifted applications.
