whats the stiffest shocks that I can get for my 98 blazer. AND I MEAN STIFF right now I got Monroe $20 p.o.s. and they are like not having any shocks on at all. when I top a bump or hill the blazer goes where it wants to go Its like the shocks are traveling to far down and when i peak there is nothing there to hold the blazer to the road. what about these http://www.napaonline.com/Search/Det...+59999+3999999

That doesn't sound like a shock issue. Failed / soft shock absorbers should just provide a bouncy or soft ride. When is the last time you looked at your idler arm?

The Bilstein's I recommended above you are incredibly stiff. I've had several people basically complain about how stiff they are. I just appreciate what they've done for my handling
