Honestly your best bet is online. Finding the CORRECT front struts for your ride is going to be the challenge. If you plan to keep it OEM, then you need to first find out which suspension package you have. This can be found in the glovebox on the Codes list. If it’s a 2011 my bet is that it’s the magneride. Since I believe magneride came out in 2009-2010 for..
I bought mine at a dealership because I didn’t want cheap pieces of crap. I got cheap on the rear shocks and have changed them twice in 6 months. Front I spent the money for OE quality.
@Joshua yeah I hear ya. Dealer is no question going to be best. If you have the money for it. However are your rear shocks the air assisted shocks with air compressor? If so, what brand did you buy?
@Khalil yes the air assisted. They are Prime Choice from Amazon. I had the money before to replace shocks but I ended up having to change my compressor because of the notorious wire wear and shorting it out.
@Joshua yup I had same issue. I replaced my Air Compressor with Dorman, and my 2 rear air struts with Arnott Air Industries. This was back in 2014. This is a daily driver, and I haven’t had an issue yet with compressor or shocks. Dealer will always be best option, but if you are looking to save some $$ and haven’t tried the Arnott Air shocks, I would recommend them.
However that still won’t tell you what front shocks you need. If the code listed is Z55, then you for sure have Airbags in the back. But you need to look for the front shocks codes as well. I would call dealer with your vin, easiest way. Get the front shocks codes. Then search online.

@Joshua Very True
@Khalil unfortunately my second set of rear cheap shocks are already giving problems. Gonna shell out the money for OE ones soon.

Buy Arnott, lifetime warranty and less then half price of OEM.
OEM is only 2 year warranty.
