Shock measurement question

[idislikeunc]

Bought a k-5 today, glad to be back! I know I'm gonna put tuff country 4" ez rides up front and shackle flip rear. I really liked the setup on my sub, and I hope its even better on a blazer.

Question is, should I install the lift and order shocks after I measure travel? Or should I be impatient and just buy '4" lift shocks' so I can wheel it as soon as the springs are mounted?

Finaly, I've been looking for BIlstein 5100's, but they don't list any for straight axele chevys. Any suggestions?

Flex it out and measure. It will help to get the most flex you can with a full size.
