Front shocks for some Chevy S-10, Blazer, GMC Jimmys will fit a 99. They're the same extended length and almost an inch shorter when compressed (which will fit fine). The valving probably isn't close. Best bet is to buy a used set of Bilsteins and send them to Bilstein for revalving (about $50 or $60 each). You can tell them your spring rates, approximate corner weights, and driving style and they should be able to help you chose a proper damping ratio. You may want to do it with all 4 shocks (I assume you're running a 900 rear axle).
As for springs I'd get some nice stiff springs geared for a 900 (intrax or something, I run OMPs which are NLA).
