    Many are replacing struts/coil assemblies since the rear leafs, and lower control arms are being replaced by the dealer. That way you end up with all new suspension as well as a frame. Better off buying any parts you need yourself, and having the dealer replace them. Most dealers will not charge for labor on the parts that needed to be removed anyway. Ask the tech to give you a heads up on anything that he sees during check in that may be questionable. My dealer's tech did a walk through with me before drop off. It's a good time for 5100's, if you were considering them.

    I agree with above. I have an icon stage 3 being installed and new LR UCAs. I am also having them replace the intermediate steering shaft as my u joint is bad. I told them to call me with anything else they see that looks questionable. Getting frame replaced in a month from now.
