But yes, just measure them and get your shocks accordingly

Negative.
No blocks on the rear. Im pretty sure I can run standard silverado 2wd rear shocks.

Tried that.

Lets just say that Bilstiens Tech guys are a little "lacking".

He kept refering be back to a model number, that I know for a FACT is for a coil spring front.

I think Im getting somewhere.

Monroes application guide lists the same model for the rears of ALL SS trucks. The AWD and 2wd ones.

When you type that model number into Shockwarehouses search, it comes up that they also work on ALL NBS 2wd trucks.

The rear on my truck is the same height as your standard 2wd Silverado. Therefore, I should find with the Bilstien 2903 rears.
