TRQ Complete Strut Assembly Shock Absorbers & Rear Conversion Kit

In this review the TRQ Complete Strut Assembly Shock Absorbers & Rear Conversion Spring Kit is evaluated for owners of early 2000s GM midsize SUVs who need a full suspension refresh. The biggest reason to consider this 10 piece kit is that it delivers an OE replacement style, direct fit set of loaded front struts, rear shock absorbers and a rear air bag to coil spring conversion in a single purchase, which simplifies restoring ride quality and handling without mixing parts from multiple suppliers.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement so the assemblies install without major modification on the listed Trailblazer, Envoy, Rainier, Bravada and Saab 9-7X models.
• Complete 10 Piece Kit: Includes two front shock and spring assemblies, two rear shock absorbers and a rear air bag to coil spring conversion for a coordinated suspension refresh.
• Loaded Struts: Front struts arrive pre-assembled to save installation time and reduce the chance of missing hardware during fitment.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: The listing provides vehicle specific check fitment information so buyers can confirm compatibility before ordering.
• Aftermarket Cross References: Supplied reference numbers make it easier to compare this kit against other aftermarket options and ensure part matching.

Who It's For

This kit is best for DIY enthusiasts and independent shops working on 2002-09 Chevrolet Trailblazer, 2002-09 GMC Envoy, 2004-07 Buick Rainier, 2002-04 Olds Bravada and 2005-09 Saab 9-7X models who want a single-source replacement for both front and rear suspension components. It suits owners who prefer parts that mimic factory fitment and want to convert rear air bag systems to conventional coil springs in one job.

Those seeking premium, vehicle-specific tuning or a noise-free, lifetime solution should look elsewhere; some customers report mixed durability and occasional rattling or squeaking, so buyers who need guaranteed long-term quiet operation or specialized performance damping may prefer OE dealer parts or higher-end shock brands.

• Pre-assembled front loaded struts reduce installation time and complexity.
