Shock absorber and ZQ1 (Chassis Package Smooth Ride)

Hello

I need to change both f&r shock absorbers on my '00 Suburban 1500 4WD.
But it comes with this RPO option : ZQ1 : Chassis Package Smooth Ride.

Could you tell me if on the Rockauto website what ACdelco or Monroe parts fit my vehicule :
Front shocks :

Rear shocks :

Thank you very much for your help.

Christophe Salvaing.

I did it yesterday

Rockauto service answer :
"Only one shock absorber part number is shown correct for the ZQ1 suspension front (ACDelco part # 560214) and rear (ACDelco part # 560217). There are no other shock absorbers listed as correct to the vehicle with that option code for the suspension.
It is possible that other shock absorbers may fit this application. However, other shock absorbers will not preserve the suspension characteristics of the system because they would not be designed to complement the other components of the suspension. If you review the descriptions of the other shock absorbers listed, you'll notice that most of these are specific to vehicles with designated suspension systems.
In most instances, a shock absorber designed for the base suspension system will physically fit the mounting points for the shock absorbers in your vehicle. These shock absorbers may not, however, preserve any self-leveling capability of the vehicle and may not preserve the ride and load capabilities of the vehicle's original equipment shock absorbers."

Okay I understand this GM Dealer answer like
But I wanted to know if other shock absorbers may fit this application even if it doesnt preserve the suspension characteristics.
