Help with 1996 Blazer LT shocks replacement
 

I just bought a 1996 Blazer. The shocks are worn out. I can clearly see front shocks but I don't see any rear shocks on the vehicle. I'm unfamiliar with it's suspension. Can someone fill me in on the rear end? Are there shocks and I'm just missing something? I appreciate your help.

My 2001 has rear shocks. There is one on either side of the axle, front/behind-staggered setup.

Thanks. I looked again. They are tough to see but they are staggered.

What is the best brand of shocks to use for the 4WD Blzr S10? I think my 2003 LS came with Bilstein shocks from the factory. Any recommendations?

Bilstein for the win! Just expensive at 150ish bucks each.

Thanks, Chris, that is expensive. What is the next best choice and a little less expensive? I have a stock 4WD with no lift. I can get Rancho's for about 50-55 each.

i have heard good things about the ranchos. i put some monroe sensatracs on mine, and regret it. i also have a (mostly) stock 4wd.

I just bought ACDelco shocks for mine. I'll let you know how they work out. Bought them off Amazon for about $25 each.
