Default Will these shocks work?

I have a 99 RCSB that I removed the rear lift block, and loosened the torsion bar bolts on. It's 4wd, and I cut the bump stops.

Over the past few months this truck has been riding terribly. Every bump is felt and I think it's time for new shocks.

Are these the correct shocks?

If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them.

trever1t was running those shocks on his lowered 4x4 and spoke very highly of them, hopefully he'll chime in to confirm the part numbers or provide the correct ones if they're wrong

Uh, where is that thread of mine....[searching]
The StrretPerformance shocks ride very well and I am more than reminded everytime I drive my truck. I will have to search for the part #'s..

Ok finally about to do this mod. My original question remains - are those too short for a Z71 with torsion bars decranked and removal of the lift blocks?

I live in AK, so I only want to have these shipped once.

I am looking for a more comfortable ride in the cab as this is my daily driver.

Where are you in AK? I can help you select the right shocks.
