    Fox 2.5 w/resi all around, rears tuned from accutune with their larger shock body (1.5"-3" lift), Icon delta joints, OME Dakar medium leaf's, wheelers super bumps, fab fours rear bumper. Lifted 3" in the front and about 2.5" in the rear on some Pro Comp La Paz 17x8.5 wrapped in 285/70 Pro Comp A/T Sport's. SOON TO COME: Lowering front about 1" New tires Rear diff lock Nfab RSP front bumper and some lights
    2.5 fox coilovers extended travel 0-3" lift with resivoir (no DSC) Seller says they have less than 10k miles on them "all street no offroad" got him down to $1000, should I pull the trigger expecting to have them rebuilt costing a total of $1300 when they're $1600-1700 brand new? Should I wait for the 4th of July for possible sales on brand new coils? They look good, obviously they're a bit dirty but no rust from what I can see in the pictures

    Assuming seller is telling the truth about mileage, doesn't sound bad to me. Assuming they're not rusted bad - surface rust is ok. I've probably got between 20k-30k on a set of icons without ever rebuilding more than the lower eye heims.

    But - you are always taking a risk on used stuff
