What to do with OEM parts?

I changed out brake lines today and was left with the factory OEM lines (practically new) and just set them in the garage. No big deal right? Problem I see is that I am planning to install an OME lift w/ complete leaf springs. So I was curious what everyone does with there left over parts. My truck has 20K on it and the factory shocks may be factory, but they are still Blistein shocks, plus my leaf springs... Not planning on throwing it away, so is there a market for OEM parts?

 

Sell

 

I wouldn't sell right away. When I lifted my truck the replacement Alcans didn't lift my truck....so I had to swap back to the stock springs, while I waiting for some Allpros.
Also depends on if you want to sell your truck down the road...you may want to keep them so you can get the truck back to stock.
Or sell it to fund even more parts heh heh

 

Try and sell them first, give them away, or trash them.

 

Did some looking on ebay, looks like there might be a market, but shipping is going to be a limiting factor. Next question would be what a reasonable price would be? Four shocks w/ coils and leafs.

 

There is a very good chance that someone not far from you could use your used parts. If you plan to sell, put them in the want adds here and Craig's List local. But as stated I would hold on to them for a little bit to make sure all goes well with your change out. And as also stated you might want to return this truck to stock one day before selling it so you have a lot to think about.

 

Yeah, probably wait until spring to sell. I don't plan on keeping the stuff around and changing back, even if I do sell the truck at some point, it will be years. Thanks for the advice.

 

Craiglist will eliminate shipping. Try here for local guys then CL. But like the others have said, don't sell them before / soon after you install your lift.
