    workin' on it.
    Going with Bilstein 5100s and an AAL for the rear.
    Also want the dif drop
    From what I can see, the Billys will add 2.5 in the front, and hopefully find the right AAL for 1.5 in the back, which should also keep me from having to grab new UCAs.

    Being in Hawaii, anybody have some insight on best value to grab these items?

    I can't help but think Maui Offroad is crazy to quote me $1170 installed out the door for the above items listed.

    Amazon is showing a handful of Bilsteins for 70-100 a piece, and the AAL and diff drop do not look expensive either. What the hell am I missing here?

    first off, your living in Hawaii, shipping will kill you every time. second, off roading shops are not as abundant as the continental US so it's a monopoly like situation. That's why most of us purchase things on line and TRY to get the best shipping deal as possible.

    my suggestion, go to the Hawaii Forum section, the guys on there have a lot of experience on buying and installing. great bunch of guys.

    Go to Downsouthmotorsports.com one of the guys that help run that place is Kauai, his name is Sonny. They know about the shipping cost to Hawaii and the are very reasonable knowing that, so go and give them look.
