great video, had a question, can you use a slightly larger shock on the truck?

@ERICSDIYGARAGE 4 года назад

I'm assuming if you found a kit that offers a bigger shock yes but I'm not aware of one that is a oem replacement

Thanks for the video.. just wondering is bilstein shocks a better option..?

@Matt-ui2bm 4 года назад

So just out of curiosity, I'm changing mine because I hit bumps super hard. My car is RWD, should I change all 4 if I'm on a budget? Im thinking I should only change the front two since those ones take the most damage. What do you think? Also, will these make a significant difference in noise?

@ERICSDIYGARAGE 4 года назад

I would change the front two and later on change the rear since they are simple to remove

@Jihadbearzwithgunz 4 года назад

Definitely dont have to replace all four at the same time. But always do a pair of them always never do one at a time as thia can cause a uneven rebound on your suspension. Always do either both front or rear.

Labeling the video for "4WD only" might have not wasted my time.

@johnathondekorte9706 4 года назад

Is people really that stupid why are u putting 2wd shocks on a 4wd blazer ?. You realize that if u go off roading that them shocks will be trashed

@apophisb7597 3 года назад

Uh...the vehicle is 2wd technically or rather rwd to be exact. What makes you think those are rear wheel drive shocks? The fact that it doesn't have a dust shield? You might want to check out what the rear wheel drive front shocks look like ; )

@apophisb7597 3 года назад

They must not be the absolute worse if they've been making them for 113 years and are still in business. I'm sure they aren't the best overall, but I suppose it depends on how you drive and use your vehicle. If you do 60 down a MMR rutted up road any shock might turn out to be crap after that. If you are 90 years old and only drive 10 miles in a week to the store and back then they may never really experience any wear.
