    ...too much shit to list.
    Don't really price out stuff for Icon, but I doubt they are nearly half the price of King shafts.

    No. Just nomenclature/verbiage from one guy to the next. Same shit.

    Emulsion shocks are nitrogen charged too. Emulsions don't have a dividing piston (IFP) to separate the nitrogen cavity from the oil cavity. Bumps for all intensive purposes are emulsion shocks.

    Seal kits are roughly $25-30 each. You'll need about a half gallon of oil. They don't sell half gallons so you're looking at about $35 for oil. Last I checked, King shafts started about $60 each depending on length. And if you don't have a nitrogen setup, plan on $20 per shock to charge, maybe more if they don't already have an Icon hypodermic needle adapter to charge them. So you're looking at least at $250 if you rebuild them yourself. This assumes nothing else is wrong. With as pitted as the shafts look, the likelihood of spherical bearings being worn and/or pitted is high. That's another $15 each (2 per shock). Given at least one is DR, I can only assume the wear bands are toast by now. That's another $15 each. Again given the age, I automatically assume the springs are clapped out, that's another $100 each (springs are consumables). And unless you like shocks that look like shit, plan on the little things like steel wool, wd-40, clear coat, thread locker, etc. And...that's assuming everything else else is fine (seal cap, piston, valve shims, etc).

    You can do the math as well as I can, and that's assuming you do the work yourself. But to put things in perspective, a brand spanking new set of non-resi King shocks are less than $1000.

    Oh and if you're not doing the work yourself and shipping them, don't forget about shipping costs. Coilovers aren't light. Plan on at least $60 each way.

    Yeah you're right, just checked the invoice. Got priced out at $55 each + labor.

    2"over LT kits use the same 8" Coilovers that regular 3.5" over kits use right? I feel like I remember someone on here saying otherwise but I'm not 100% sure

    how imperative is it to have the tc rack bushings?
    mine were clapped so i threw the new rack in with the stock bushings
    how shitty is that going to be for it in the dirt? seems like quite a bit more movement in the rack with the stock bushings

    Detroit most likely. And since the third is In pieces that's why I'm going to wait. So I don't have to pay 2 times to get it installed

    Yeah Juan, We have been running Detroit Lockers since early 2000's. Good product, we have never had any issues over the years.
