Default Interchangeable shock?

Does anybody know of any other vehicles shocks will fit a 2005 2 door Jimmy that are also longer than the stock ones on Jimmy's?

zr2 shocks and i think my front ones came off of a z71 silverado. you could try some silverado rear shocks but the zr2 shocks would be best they are 2 inches longer

98 z71 rear shocks. they are 3 inches longer and I'm sure they are stiffer. when u get them just check the end and make sure the place where they bolt up at the top is the same as the blazer

Checked and found out that they are not the same as a blazer for mounting up top with 2 bolts it has an eye for mounting, any other suggestions? and are zr2 shocks acutally 2 inches longer?

Yeah I checked napa's website and they gave the measurements fro the zr2 shock as 26 inches and the regular one as 24 inches. Everyone around here has to order them and the dealer said they are discontinued. Had a guy at my local parts store look through all the shocks he had and said none of them have the same set up as a blazer shock. Gonna be a about a week to order them aftermarket oh well. Thanks for the help guys!
