    Is it a waste if I don't do any offroading. The only offroading is camping and snowboarding. I want to the the EMU lift with EMU shocks ($700) and UCA or should I just stick to 5100 all around ($280), AAL, and UCA. If both are going to be around the same height anyways. Would the ride onroad be the same?

    thanks

    It's not a waste if you need more clearance.

    I vote for do it right the first time- Get the stuff you want and go with it- You won't be inclined to upgrade AGAIN later and you'll be happy with what you have...

    FWIW- You might not wheel it now...but after you get your lift in...you might be a bit more motivated too!!

    Thanks for all the response. How much do you guys think if I get the whole EMU kit and TC UCA, the installation and alignment would be? Or is it fairly easy to do myself? the only auto work that I have done myself is change oil and brakes.

    There are Write Ups for how to for most of the component installation for suspension on the board.

    It's do-able your self...but it may be a bit daunting.

    thanks, yeah I saw the GB and emailed Wheeler. I wonder if i purchase the whole EMU and TC UCA, would the price be discounted more on the EMU kit?

    Originally, I had checked with a shop for install and align for 5100 and it was $200. So I'll check again with them to see how much.
