Easy install, great price, good shock
2002 s10 blazer 4 door. Just did the whole front suspension, and looked like the blazer was sagging a little in the back. Bought these to even out the back..Great ride,easy install..I just jacked up the truck from the frame,and let the rear suspension hang down. Shocks went on fully extended and lined right up...I didn't have to try and compress them or anything...

94 K1500 4X4 Love These
94 K1500 4X4 Stock, no lift, no leveling.Great Shock. Lifted my saggy truck back up at least 1.5", look cool, simple install. Before you screw up your ride with expensive leveling and lift kits, put a pair of these cool shocks on.I recommend taking a ratchet strap and cutting off the strap and then cutting off the hook on the remaining strap. So you just have the ratchet and the strap (no hooks). Then tie the strap back onto the ratchet and bingo you have a hookless strap that you can tighten up the shock with. In my rig it was even easy to install the strap after the shock was attached to the upper bolts. Compress the shock and install the lower bolt, then remove the strap. If you have your truck properly jacked up, you only need to compress 1/2 inch or less. Makes it safer and easier. If you don't know what you're doing, don't do it.Shocks are great, look good, ride good. It's a stiffer ride, but it's on a truck. I love them and the price is very reasonable.

Fit and work great
Make sure you let the rear axle hang free and lift rear tires off ground by jacking on frame and installation is easy. Only problem I had was waiting on delivery and when ups said it was delivered five days late package was found at neighbor’s front porch next day this seems to happen more often. Installed on 1996chevy c1500 and replaced original ones after 233,000 miles and yes made truck ride great even when towing trailer with tractor loaded on it.

Great upgrade
Great upgrade for my 94 Suburban. The rear end was squatting when towing and honestly while just sitting and the overall ride wasn't great. I installed these hoping it would bring it back level as well as fix the ride issues.First the ride is way better and firmer. No up and down bounce after hitting a bump. These also raised the rear of my truck by maybe 1-2 inches. I'll probably end up replacing my leaf springs as they are kinda flat but that's a seperate issue.Installation was pretty straight forward, 1 bolt at bottom and 2 smaller bolts up top. The upper mount is a little thinner than stock but bolted up just fine. Being as these have springs they are nearly impossible to compress by hand and I had to get creative with a ratchet strap to compress then far enough to get the lower bolt in.Install time was about 1.5 hours including removal/install of wheels, jack stands and actually swapping shocks.I gave 4 stars for now but will update after towing my camper.

Awesome perfect fit shocks
My 74 truck is running a little more weight and power than stock. It was a bit bouncy on the roads. I stalled these coil over shocks (easy install) and now the trucks rides really well and handles better. They dampen well and the little bit of lift works out perfectly. Also they look really cool.

Llevo dos días con. Ellos y su función me gustó, a pesar de tener resorte se siente suave la amortiguacion, se los coloque a una Toyota pickup 94. Y estética se ven bien. Destacan.

Better than the stock shocks
Can't believe the difference in the ride with these installed. The coil over design does not make for a stiffer ride. Very slight lift,but not really noticable (headlight aim). Huge difference when towing my camper. When installing, use a ratchet strap to compress the shock.
