anyone have any recommendations for rear shocks for my 79 Blazer? since I lowered it the stock shocks are too long and are bottoming out. I have used front shocks on the rear before when running a flip kit, but the are too short to use on this one. I installed a 2" shackle and removed the short "overload" spring and factory 1/2" lift block. Surely there is an off the shelf shock that will work for this application, but i have yet to locate one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
