95 Blazer - Replacement Shock Suggestions?
Hey all,
I have a new (to me at least) 1995 Blazer LT with the ZM6 Off Road Package.
Truck has 137K miles. The original Bilsteins are worn out and were replaced by the dealership who sold me the truck. However the truck feels weird with way too much "float" I think the mechanics put on an incompatiable / cheapo set of shock (feels like a 2 wd shocks)
I want better control on the road (driving with these new shocks is really scary!) and also not to thrash the suspension off road.
Anybody have a specific replacement shock recommendation for the Chevy Blazer Off Road Package (ZM6) ?
Any and All suggestions are Greatly Appreciated!

I have Bilsteins on mine and recommend them.

Sadly, I can't afford $130 a corner for this truck. I'm hoping for most bounce (resistance) for the buck...
Thinking about maybe ProComp ES-3000 - any feedback on these??

Where are you lookin that has shocks for $130 each?
OEM replacement Bilsteins should be $65/each tops.

I went with the skyjacker hydro's myself and they are about 40.00 a piece on rough country.

I was looking on Bilsteins web site and their prices were WAY up there. I guess maybe there are some very steep discounts out in the retail market then.
