rear shocks for 70 blazer? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just bought Bilsteins for the front, but they don't make Binsteins for the rear. The guy at the offroad store told me to go with the rancho 5000. he said the rancho rs9000's are over rated and he has never adjusted his.

btw It is about 1-2 inches above stock height-- It has some type of add a leaf.

thanks in advance

What about the RSTs? I have just started looking into new shocks but I have no clue what to get. I don't think that my ride could get any rougher. Right now, my truck has some off brand on it. I'd like to smooth out the ride since it is mosly driven on the street.
