It's time to replace my rear Excel G KYB345066 shocks.... Has anyone found anything better for a smooth ride when carrying passengers and the occasional trailer?

I've noticed my Armada is swaying and rocking when it bounces after I pulled a trailer about 5-7 times in the last 3 months.

I replaced the air ride suspension with Moog 81087 springs and KYB345066 shocks.

Rear Air Suspension Delete - 2WD

I've completed a Rear Air Suspension Delete on my wife's 2009 Armada LE 2WD and I wanted to share some information that is specific to the 2WD trucks. The only hauling we do with this Armada is our kids and their friends, so I'm not the slightest bit concerned with the overall tow capacity...

The bilstein 4600 should be a better ride.

I was getting way too much bounce after 30k miles of drive so I replaced the Excel G KYB345066 with Rancho RS999306 RS9000XL adjustable shocks.

There is an adjustment knob setting 1-9. Setting 6 felt like a luxury car, but too much bounce from the Moog 81087 springs with rough roads. Setting 7 seems about right but I could probably be very happy with 8.
