Good shocks for street use?

My K-5 has the tuff country e-z ride 4" lift on it with their shocks. I took the sway bar off to help with the bump steer (which it did) but with the remaining bump steer and the amount of body roll this thing has it is beginning to be a bear to drive. I constantly am running close to the edge of the road. Should I upgrade to a better monotube shock, or buy the offroad design swaybar corrections?

Also I have the raising steering arm and stock pitman arm. Would a stock steering arm and drop pitman arm correct my bumpsteer? I was told before the draglinks need to be at the same angle as the springs for proper steering geometry.

Rough Country's Nitro 9000 shocks. Nitrogen charged monotubes for under $40 each from JCWhitney and a few other places.

Ditto. They are what I run on my 4" lift. Good shock.
Are you sure you dont have some worn steering parts?
Are all parts, nuts, bolts, properly torqued down?
I have absoulity no bump steer with a 4" lift, no sway bar, raised steering arm,
Are you running a stabilizer?

Well my blazer has 96,000 miles on it. I had new ball joints and draglinks, they only thing I never replaced are the tie rods. Yeah I have dual stabilizers. Its so weird, I had an 86 blazer I put a rough country 4" on and it had bump steer too, but everyone else I talk to that has a 4" lift has never had bump steer. Maybe I oughta try changing my tie-rods and see what happens. They look good, but who knows.

You do have the raised steering arm or dropped pitman arm, don't you? Has your caster been changed by front axle shims or something?

I started a new thread just for the bumpsteer question. To answer your question no I have no shims. Just the springs on top the perches.
