my monte is riding worse than my f550 right now so im going to have to do struts on it, ordered 4 kyb gr2'*, a hood strut so it will stop biting me, and figured while i was at it would get the strut tower braces that my old monte has as standard. gm PN# 12498648 comes with both front and rear for a 2000-2005 w-body (except V8 ones). i will likely have to some sort of mod to it but wont really know until i get them. my 03 felt solid and silent even at 200k, hopefully this will put that feel into the 07

Nate, I know your pretty handy dandy with a polisher, but I hope the other side of your dog isn't red.

My dog is fine. She doesn't bother me too much when I am working outside.

Just kidding. The kids play with it every time they go to Autozone. I'm surprised they haven't worn it out yet.
