If you want to keep the self levelling aspect .. yes ... :(

If you decide to bin the self levelling you'll need to change the springs as well as the shocks .. :(

Self levelling suspension & self levelling HID headlamps are two completely separate animals.  ;) ;)

HID level sensors are front & rear on the near side suspension

suspension level sensor is on the off side rear.  :y :y

one option is to get monroe shocks which can be connected to self levelling system, but gm parts on tc will be slightly cheaper
