I would pass. I can not be sure those are indeed the "right" shocks. If it is the one pictured it is an OEM shock. The shocks most have been using here are the HD shocks. They have a convoluted boot.

Those might work. I can just not say they will 100%

I know of one that installed ZR2 rear shocks. I have seen some OEM Bilsteins on Blazers in the salvage yards, I might try a set if I was in a real bind, maybe?

I would spend the extra $33 and buy them here: Shockwarehouse Front Bilstein shocks, free shipping

Just bought new Bilsteins last week at my local Autozone. $59.99 per shock.

Better than my suggestion for sure.

I put those on my Bravada, not as firm as the HD ones I have on the CC.
