The rear shock for a 67-72 blazer works well as far as length goes for 5"+. The shock mounts on our trucks are about 1/4" too wide for the eyelets on the shock though, easy fix. I bought some monroe sensa tracs for mine as a temporary fix until I can talk the wife into something better. After fixing the sway bar issue the truck rides decent, still kinda soft for my liking though. I'm either going with a bilstien or stiffer shock in the future.

so if i get a bilstein shock from a 67-72 blazer i should be ok with the 3/5.5 djm kit from Tony?

ordered my Bilsteins this week for the front from Autozone with a 20% discount and free shipping.
I think I'm sticking to the Nivomats in the rear at this time.
