    Heck, they only have 9,000 miles on them. Would people buy them? What should I ask for them?

    Try craigslist. The shocks are too heavy to really be worth shipping. I'd put them on there for $100 for the set. You just want to get rid of them. If anyone offers $50, take it.

    Edit: mine went in the garbage at 45K miles

    Are they the TRD Bilstiens or the regular black shocks?

    I bought the TRD Bilstiens with lower mileage off another member when the ones in my truck went bad at 130k. Got them for pretty cheap and even with shipping it was much less than buying new. You could always list for sale here and have local pickup only on them. Someone can use them.

    Not worth much here, CL is the best bet for selling. Most sell here for $70 or less for the pair shipped, or given away since the demand for them is low on a forum like this.

    I've seen as many given away as I've seen sell for $40-50.

    Yeah, I'll probably just give them to the guy who's helping me (as in he's doing 90%) doing the install and he can sell them.

    Thanks again, fellas. I'm excited....In another 10 days, I'll have my truck just the way I want it! Well, until one of you jerks posts some pics of something else I decide I need.

    Gonna put 5100s all around, 884 coils on front and a 1.5' AAL on the rear. :)

    Which AAL are you going to use? Single leaf or multi leaf?

    OK, let me see if my buddy wants them. We aren't getting together to do this project until April 9th. I'll get in touch with you if he says he doesn't want them.

    I was going to throw out my old 8 year old 65,000 mile 5100's after my frame replacement (1 was leaking). Posted on CL. 6 hrs later, I was $80 richer.

    Not sure there are many people that would buy a set of 8 year old, 65k mile shocks with one being blown too often.

    What a shmuck that guy was.

    That's the beauty of Craigslist; if nobody bites, it didn't cost you a dime, but there's always a puncher's chance of finding that one special sap.
