Re: shock absorbers

I use it for meetings and little trips and towing my caravan a few times a year.

Re: shock absorbers

A very good shock would be like Edelbrock about $75 each, or KYB for about $50 each. One more Pro comp is also good for About $35 each. You can get it from Summit. Hope that helps..

Re: shock absorbers

Thanks for the replies. We have here in the Netherlands a Blazer and Suburban specialist and he sells AC Delco shocks. Do you know these shocks?

Re: shock absorbers

I would stay away from the pro-comps....I had them on my lifted hard wheel K5, They worked good and lasted a long time. I put a set on my Burban....and the rears are both blown within 3,000 miles of street duty. I won't buy them again.
