Default Shock Recommendation

Good morning Blazer enthusiasts. I'm looking for recommendations for a set of shocks for my 2000 blazer 2dr lt 4.3 4wd. I don't do any off roading, mostly around town and weekend trips to the mountains.. Thanks in advance.

I put the monroe load adjusting shocks # 58523 on the rear of my 2 door last fall. They perform as advertised with the truck empty or loaded. I haven't pulled a trailer with them but I'm confident they'll be fine. I wanted a smooth ride and the ability to put up with my bs. For instance, taking 3 heavy weight guys to pick up a rock so big it took a couple tries before we got it high enough to put in the back. Truck rode fine with all that in it. Now if my neighbors want to drive in my yard they'll scratch my new rock.

The craiglist ad said free boulder. Just a regular B.F.R. Had to roll & rotate it to close the tailgate. I accused one guy of looking like he was pooping then we couldn't look at each other while lifting because everyone was squat and making a funny, constipated face.

In the spirit of keeping this thread on the rails, anybody got any front shocks with a lifetime warranty with the ability to put up with my bs?
