    Looking to replace my struts. Is there a recommendation on replacing? I see loaded in the range of 130 - 160ea at local auto parts stores.

    If you just want to remain stock, you could look for slightly used 3rd gen Takeoffs. Quite common to do. Sometimes you even find people giving them away on here.

    Yup, totally. This is exactly what I did. Got assembled fronts, rear shocks, leaf springs and front UCA's with about 15k miles all for $200. Breeze to install since the fronts were still assembled and cant beat that price.

    3rd gen take-offs are nice and easy. Definitely a good choice on a budget.

    If you want brand new and plan on staying "stock" (no lift) I'd recommend Bilstein 4600 series. About $315 w/free shipping for all four on Amazon.
