Still researching the shocks!
Thanks, everyone, for all the recommendations. I have put four new tires on and that removed a problem with front end bounce from 60-65 and now with a front end alignment, it is really nice to drive on straights as well as corners. I now have the time to look for new shocks without a quick decision. So keep the recommendations and suggestions coming. I do appreciate it. Jim

I see my shocks on the Blazer are the original yellow Bilstein shocks. That may influence me to lean toward the Bilsteins aftermarket shocks. They are good, but a little more expensive.

Blazers do come with Bilstein shocks from the factory or at least mine did.
Shocks and tires that come on your car from the factory are not the same brand quality that you would buy aftermarket. They are mass produced for the car makers and sold to them for reduced rates. They are at best an impersonation of what you would buy at the auto parts store and why I didn't include them.

I have not heard about this before...and what a disappointment it is to hear this. I would have thought they would be exactly the same....why change the production line...but then...the driver is MONEY!.....so.....just disappointed to here this.
