Default rancho rsx shocks

just got done putting new rancho rsx shocks on all 4 corners

descentride, deff a truck shock, pretty stiff, but way better than the sloppy stock shocks that look like they have been on the blazer for 12 years

much less body roll also

I've enjoyed those shocks as well. I installed them about 1 1/2 years ago

Where did you buy them? How much? Does Autozone have any decent (firm/stable) shocks for these. My 97 LT is soft as hell, but then again 190k miles has a tendency to wear shocks out. Also what do the stock shocks look like? The ones on my Blazer are yellow but dont look like a stock shock.

i have seen lots of blazers with yellow shocks, i have heard that bilsteins came stock on the blazers and i think bilsteins are yellow...


i have Monroe Reflex on all 4, i got them at autozone for like $55 a piece. i like them, they are much stiffer than what i had on mine. i wanted either the edelbrocks or the ranchos but they were both a little too expensive

Bilsteins should have yellow bottoms and blue tops. They were factory stock on my Blazer, may have been on yours.

I had orange stock shocks, can't remember what brand they were, but I replaced with Red Edlebrock IAS Shocks. These are very nice and helped a lot with the ride. Lots less body roll, but it is still there.

Looks like my stockers are Bilsteins. Will start doing some research on some decent/ good priced shocks. Thanks guys

I need something that gets rid of this damned body roll. After driving the vette it is killing me. I know it is an SUV and it is not going to handle like a sports car but it is really bad.

After looking again my stockers were orange also, cant see the name brand because they are so dirty and nasty. LOL

I was going to say that if Bilsteins weren't firm enough you probably need to weld your suspension together.I don't know what the orange shocks were, but Chevy went to Bilsteins to address the body roll complaints drivers had. Mine are plenty firm.
