    Well, I don't think you hate to brag. :D

    Seriously, that sounds like an incredible price! I am devoted to a local joint for all things wheels, brakes, shocks, etc., so I'm sure I pay too much sometimes; however, they are generally not off the charts high and are extremely customer service oriented, so I cough it up.

    Good find!

    i don't exactly agree with you. mine are set at 1.75 with no TSB and i may even be SLIGHTLY lower in the front. Depends on where i park. :D

    Well the long awaited day is tomorrow...shocks are being installed in my wife's hometown for hopefully much cheaper than the Dallas places. I don't know much about the front shocks..when you stand the shock up as it would be on the truck, which notch is 0" and which is 2.5"? I'm going with .85" for now since I have no TSB.
