Default Bilstein Shock Absorbers

I have a 2003 Blazer 2WD with ZQ8 suspension option. Anyone know GM part # for front & rear Bilstein shock absorber?

Neither the Bilstein nor schockwarehouse.com websites show a listing for the '03 Blazer. That's strange because they show the '02 with thisfor the front and this onefor the rear. I can't imagine what the difference would be between the '02 and '03.

See that's the problem I'm running into as well. No website shows them for the '03 but I've gotten under it and it does have Bilstein shocks.

I guess that when you're under the truck there's no model number visible on the shocks, is there?

Check out RockAuto.com. The shocks you have now are OEM shocks sold under the AC Delco name made by Bilstein. Typically the OEM supply contract is 5 years, after which, the original manufacturer can sell them under their name. What makes this a pain is that they cannot list the application until the contract is up even if nothing changed between the years.
