Well I'm just trying to get some things lined out on my blazer and wondered what shocks I should put on it, its a 72 4x4 stock height. Thanks Randy

Re: what shocks
My 72 4x4 is also stock height and my daily driver. I went with a 9 way adjustable Ranchero shock so I could get a little better ride quality out of it.
On the trails I turn them down so it isn't such a kidney buster. On the street I run them a little stiffer on the front (about 2 clicks more than the back) seems to be a nice balance. Adding a front sway bar also allowed me to soften the front shocks a bit more for a better ride. Pretty happy overall considering it's such a short wheel base. About as good as it gets without resorting to aftermarket soft ride springs. |

Re: what shocks
I just run Monroe gas LT shocks on my Blazer and on the shortbed 4X4. They seem fine for the weekend driving I do. The only off -roading I do is parking on a grass field at a car show.
