    Yeah, I thought that was a little ridiculous myself. Thats why I ordered from somewhere else and will get them assembled locally if I don't do it myself. I've done springs before and I have heavy duty compressors.

    The way it's worded is if you buy the shocks and the springs from them they will assemble them for you and ship them out that way. That would require them to get you a new top plate and spacers and bushings for your shocks, but 200 just seems a bit high. I picked up a good used pair of top plates so I could do this myself.

    no thanks, when I redo my suspension I'm going with Skyjacker. PN# TC530stks

    includes 3" lift performance struts & 2.5" lift rear spring pack for around $630 + shipping

    I'm dot doubting the awesome quality of the OME set up, it just does not seem economical to go that direction. I trust our Skyjacker Rep and I trust their products that is why I'll go with Skyjacker.:thumbsup:

    When you get up twards the top, it get tough. I had 1 wheel in the air many times. A Prerunner with a locked rear or a good LS can make it. Extra ground clearance helps too. :)
    I think that includes new Top plates and spring isolators, which can cost $125.00 or more, so its not really a bad price. Especially if you want to be able to just throw them on without dealing with compressing the spring and re useing your top plates/spring isolators.

    Not at all. I reused my top plates, but I bought new isolators. It is peice of mind haveing all new stuff on the front, but its not necessary.

    Yes. I did. I glued 4 of them, but one didnt hold, and fell down. She called a "truce", after she saw that I was going to rig op a spray nozzel over her side of the bed, and put it on a timer. :D
