Default Shocks part # ?

Can someone help me clarify the correct part # for the C7Z shocks. I do not have the Z07 package

I'm trying to figure it out but I'm having a hard time deciphering what the correct part #'s truly are. What I have come up with and it could be wrong is:
Fronts - 84235048
Rears - 84235051 fe7, or 84235050 fe4 ?I believe this is the Z51 suspension

I know someone here knows which ones are the proper ones, thanks in advance!

There seems to be a ton of different part numbers. The shocks should have a label on them. Re-order what is on the car

The C7 Z06 has two suspensions. The suspension for the base Z06 is FE6 and the suspension for the optional Z07 package is FE7. When looking at the GM Parts List the shock listing will also say with Ride Control. Both versions of the Z06 have Ride Control. It is highly possible the same part number is used for the shock absorbers since the difference may be in the ride control program that adjusts current going through the magnetic shock fluid which determines how stiff the shock is.

The best way to tell is to check with your dealer parts department as they know which shocks your car takes based on the VIN. Also, Gene Culley at Cultrag has helped me a bunch of times when the proper part number isn't clear.
