Default Rear Shackles?

I have a 2003 ZR2 Blazer and I cannot find rear shackles for it for the life of me.. I've tryed warrior and Daystar and both companies say they dont have a shackle for my Blazer. Any suggjestions? Im trying to pick up the sag in the rear, and eventually put some 32" tires..

Any s-series shackle kit will work on the ZR2 as well.

I agree the universal ones scare me they look very flimsy, but i do have a couple of buddies who use them and they have never had any issues. It just doesnt seem like they are very strong.\

But if u have access to a welder or a friend does u can make them its very easy.

Or you can get the cheap ones from advance or autozone or whatever. I have had those on mine for about 10K miles with moderate offroading and have had no problems whatsoever. Just my 2cents
