    How much did these run you? Also, I'm guessing you already had to buy new UCA's too with running the billy's at full setting?

    I got a killer deal from a very good friend at arb! $230.00 for all the front suspension and no im running the stock upper arms and never have had any issues at all.... no rub at full drop!!! I think its all made to work with your stock gear.... i think... but ill tell ya you will not regret it one bit!!! Way better than my billstines by far!!! Imo

    If you look around online the front setup is about $500ish... but worth every penny !!!

    You think the OME's perform better than the Bilsteins for fronts?
