    Offer $100 and tell him to keep the UCAs and leaf pack, if yours is already new. I don't think the rear end on the 3rd gens is notably heavier so the leaf pack is unlikely to be stiffer, whereas the front end is definitely heavier on the 3rds.

    I wouldn't drop $200 on someone's OEM stuff- they're just trying to recoup whatever they can to offset the new suspension they bought.

    As far as I know, the leaf pack is exactly the same.

    Refreshing the UCA would be nice though.

    Good looking out! Start as low as possible first! But yes I will likely just keep my current leaf springs since they are just a couple months old. Then just need the shocks, coils, and UCA's(per @Spansfelder recommendation).

    I have a pair of OEM Shocks I bought from someone a while back. Theyre yellow billies like that and have like 30,000 miles if I recall. You can have for $30 if you want. I wont be needing them and was keeping them for an extra spare.

    How much wire are you looking to pull? I ran the wire in for my XM antenna by pulling the A/C drain hose, pulling the wire in, and pushing the drain hose back out. Easy peasy. It's behind the glove box; if you need a pic, lemme know.

    Those are sweet and a good price. I would love these for backup pods but dont have the funds for them right now. I gotta get a light setup for the soft topper right now

    Shoot cheaper than that. Marie has them for $330 shipped and then the AAL and coils would set you right about $250

    I also tagged him in a FS section in the 3rd Gens. Some guy selling his TRD OR Suspension for $250 in Dallas. Definitely could get it down to $150 if you try hard enough

    Wouldn't you like to know!

    I offered the guy on CL $100 to start for just the springs, shocks, and uca's. No rear leafs!

    I will see what comes from that, then I will see about this guy in Dallas next week. I would be stoked if I can get it under 2 bills!
