Limited Knowledge of Shocks

I received an email today from 4wheelparts.com offering free shipping and up to 20% off items site wide. I am looking at these shocks http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kits-Suspensions-and-Shocks/Bilstein-4600-Series-Shock-Absorber.aspx?t_c=1&t_s=90&t_pt=3306&t_pl=9762&Year=2005&Make=CHEVROLET&Model=TRAILBLAZER+LT&Engine=4.2L+L6+256+CID+GAS It doesn't say anything about them being HDs, but it is what they came up with that was vehicle specific. Will these work for the front with mark's new lift design or are do they need to be longer? If so what should I be looking for exactly? Your help is appreciated.

These would be for the front; I plan on using the BDS for the rear.

From those pics, those would also just be for the rear...

No one, that I am aware of, makes longer struts for the fronts of our trucks. The Bilstein HD strut is a fine unit for use with a lift kit. The HD part # is F4-BE5-A333-H0. Does that price of $66.99 reflect the 20% off? I'd go with ShockWarehouse.com. They are a vendor on the OS and they just recently signed up on here as well (no posts yet). They list the fronts at $60.95 with free shipping and they have a coupon code for 5% off. Code is Trailvoy2011.

This definitely beats 4wheelparts price; thanks for the info.

I ordered these on the 11th yet have not recieved them yet. Even with the free ground shipping a week should be long enough. I checked the order of my status and it just says processed rather than shipped. Has anyone else had this sort of problem with shock warehouse?

Bilstein's been known to run out often, and shockwarehouse has been reported to not always advise of late deliveries, but they DO respond to emails and you can phone them.

Ok so I still haven't received my Bilstein HD front struts from shock warehouse. So I called them to check the status and the guy said it looks like it's ready to ship out today and the as soon as they get a tracking number they'll send it to me in an email. This is the same thing they told me last Friday when I called. Is this normal?

Scratch that last post; just got an email with the tracking number.
