You should def. follow the above suggestions and save your $$ for other mods like a locker, free flow exhaust and stuff like that. Also, you should put up some pics of your truck and keep updating what you have done. Good luck with your Blazer.

I just bought Pro Comp ES 9000 shocks. They rock, although thier a little stiff on the highway, but react great offroad.
I had the nitros on my 84 chevy 1/2 ton, and didnt care for them. They were real spongy off road, and I switched to the pro comps.
4wheelparts has some awesome deals on shock sets right now with free shipping. Here's the link. http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kits...06&t_pl=101369

So you dont rough country or rancho

I had a question should i get the shocks that fit with a 2in lift or would the stock size work. That is with tweaking the torsion key and the rear 2" shackles

What do y'all think about the superlift 2" suspension

Trust me, no 2 inch suspension lift is worth the $$$ for the kit or the $$$ to have it installed. If you have a decent mechanic he should be able to install the shackles and adjust the tbars and even install the shocks and ball joints in a day, deffinantly a weekend.

If you enjoy money in your pocket and being able to align your front tires, stay away from any of the 2 inch lift kits that require the use of reindexed torsion bar keys, even if it includes new A arms.

Waste of time and money. Don't do it!

Also, please be aware double (and in your case triple) posting is against the rules. If you need to ask another question you can always use the "Edit" button on the bottom right hand side of your post.

I don't care for the nitros personally, but the ranchos are great shocks. Just pricey, but your paying for the rancho name.

About your shock question, I would buy shocks for a 2 inch lift with shackles and a tbar crank. I had the stock shocks on mine for about a week before putting on my ProComps, and the ride is definitly better with the new shocks.

If you search the threads, youll see that just cranking your stock t-bars is good, no need for new keys.
