Default Bilstien Shocks

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on stock replacement Bilstien shocks for my ZR2 Blazer. My local auto parts cannot and I have dug around for a while and haven't found any. If not what is a top quality replacement. I also looked into Ranchos and was disappointed there too.

I think Synergy Offroad has them listed on the site, but you might want to contact them first to make sure they are available.

Many have tried to find a better shock for the stock ZR2 but no one that I have known has found one yet. This is one place that GM did a fantastic job by using Bilstiens.

Thanks guys for the imput. Now that I have found a source for the Bilstiens that is what I am going with. I have 146,000 on the Blazer owned it since new and my shocks are still pretty good in other words I am replacing them because I want to and not because they need to be. I think they ride great work offroad and on. I run Bilstiens on my Jeep Rubicon as well, 5100s and I couldn't be happier with them. What shock in this price range is better? I would concider them and I looked but found nothing I felt was better than the Bilstiens.

I prefer the Bilsteins, also.
