If you think it needs them, it prabably does. Do the bounce test and take a look at it and see if you have any fluid coming out. If you do, they're bad.

Your Avalanche has shock absorbers on all 4 corners. No suspension struts.
The original shocks suck! Even when new. I like Bilsteins, A good place to buy http://www.eshocks.com/ |
