Shock absorbers recommended for 1980 Chevrolet Blazer
« on: January 22, 2010, 08:38:27 am »
Good day people, i have a 1980 Chevrolet Blazer 4wd, 250 cid engine.
It has a problem with suspension, it jumps and vibrate so much on unpaved roads, i thinks it happens because of the cheap shocks i bought. So i would like you to suggest me what type and brand of shocks will be suitable in order to solve this issue.
My truck has 31" tires and is 2" lifted over the normal height.

Thanks

Check the front end first and your tires

Bilstein 5100 series are great inexpensive shocks.

I've been putting Monroe Gas-Magnums on all the trucks.  Never a problem and I've only needed one set per truck so far.
