    around $400 for the pair

    went through downsouth motorsports..marco was very helpful with the purchase and setup of the shocks...i'd definitely recommend going through him if you're looking at a nice shock setup

    crawler :drool:

    if i had to do it again, i'd look more into getting a crawl box setup and keep the stock gears for better highway mileage

    hopefully have them installed tomorrow :D

    and x2 on this

    good to know...figured it would be best to have some sort of cushion or barrier between the two metals to keep the finish on the resi


    so far my on road ride comfort is better...need to flex these out and see how much room i have on compression...

    definitely makes me even MORE eager to get the front done!

    jealous you get to work on yours during the week :(

    luckily there is plenty of slack on my resi hose..when i mounted my shock the connector was damn close to the frame, so this morning got the wrench out and rotated the body over a bit..good to go now!

    haha...eventually i'll stop caring about how they look and they'll be brown too....

    that's a nice mount...didn't like the idea of spending all the time trying to drill through the frame, so i got the clamps and wrapped them around the frame

    Just tint and ppl for now.
    Good idea with the rubber between the clamp and resi. Mine are starting to rust where the clamp is now. Should have done that to begin with.

    Where did you order your lca skids? Need them
