Default 2nd gen oem shock replacement

I am just curious if it is still possible to find the Delphi de carbon shocks that apparently came stock on some or all blazers at least in 1999. They are the orange ones if that helps. I did a bit of searching various ways of spelling Delphi de carbon and cannot find them. The 2 model numbers I have for the front and rears are 3603 and 3606 I forget which one is front and which is rear. Anyway if anyone knows something I don't as to where I could possibly get them that would be great, or if anyone knows whether or not they have been discontinued or have been replaced with a different shock. I cannot even find any information on this model number on google, maybe im bad at the internet lol.


my vehicle is a 1999 gmc jimmy 4wd SL 2door automatic incase that helps at all.

Is there a specific reason you are trying to stick with that type of shock? I'm sure you could find something aftermarket that is just as good if not better.

was more curious than anything, i ended up getting some rancho rs5000 and they are pretty stiff which is fine i guess. I don't tow anything with my blazer or haul any heavy loads. More or less i wanted shocks that would be comfortable for gravel fire roads and such out in the woods since i go out there for shooting and camping fairly often. I cant necessarily complain about my current shocks but anything that would help make fire roads and such better would be worth looking into imo. Honestly, i would take any shocks if it helped with the annoying body shake i get when i go over mild potholes and the like. it did this with both my oem shocks and the current rancho rs5000 which are much different. Maybe the nasty body shake is a signature blazer trait?
