Ok so as everybody adviced me I've been looking for a set of Rancho RSX 17004's. I probably live in the dumbest country of the world, nobody even heard of them. I know I can get them from Boulderbars but $65 a piece and then shipping...

Now I see these in my favorite shop ( Ebay ) but will they fit a KJ...anybody got max/min sizes for the stock shocks handy so I can ask this guy the size of his.....( shocks lol )

Trailmaster SSV Rear Shocks. Part # 75430 for a '99 Chevy Blazer S10 with 4" lift.

the Ranchos a lot of us use fit a Dodge Dakota 4 WD drive pickup, or a Durango, not sure about a shock for a 99 Blazer working, would have to know the specs on it but I would try and find ones that you know WILL work

Just measure your stock shocks at full extension and then add 2 " to that measurement. Now look for a shock that has about the same body size with the new extended measurement. I don't remember the exact number right now.

Thanks fouros! Their website is down until 15-02...so maybe I have to wait a little...it's just that I am very impatient if I want something..

That and the Blazer shocks are at $12 now :D
