First off, nice truck! I traded my old '88 S-10 Blazer for a '63 Beetle owned by a lady in Silverhill. Met her at Cruisin' the Coast in 2008.

On my old '93 fullsize with 5/8 drop, I ran Doetsch Tech shocks which were pretty good. On my old '93 S-10 with 4/5 drop, I installed Belltech Street Performance shocks which were awesome. I'm contemplating a set for my Tahoe once I get some extra cash.

While not inexpensive at $265 for the set, they're cheaper than Edelbrock shocks would have been. The set of 4 is only about $40 more than a set of KYB's would have been.
A member of Fullsizechevy.com also recommended the Bilstein HD drop shocks. I'd be interested in knowing your thoughts on them once yours are installed. If I can be convinced they're any better than Belltech Street Performance, I may give them a try.
