Had a ‘86 Blazer with snowplow and heavy duty suspension came with twin shocks up front when I replaced them I went with Rancho RS 5000 ?
My ‘81 K10 had dual front shocks. Replaced em with singles (Bilstein 5100) and could not be happier.
The Billstein shocks he got on made for a nice ride.
I don't. Based in the research I did when I lifted mine, there is no reason to run dual shocks with modern shocks. I don't remember where/what different shock mount I bought and paired it with a single Bilstein.
I put those same Ranchos in my 2002 a couple of years ago. Night and day difference. I don't think my old shocks were doing anything at all.
the only real issues ive had are shock failures (upgraded to bilstein)
Meanwhile, the new shocks and springs really made a difference while driving. Noticeably smoother than before, less noise and clunking.
The Bilsteins for the rear aren't that expensive. They are a little bit firmer than stock but the increase in wheel and body control are worth it.
A little build up in a Bilstein is normal.
I had Bilstein, but they broke after just 2 months.
