    Why don't you just buy my Bilstein adjustable 5100's w/ 3" Eibach coils instead and call it a day! LOL! Theyll be off of my truck by tomorrow afternoon. $250 you pay shipping. My zip code is 96007 and they weigh around 40lbs. I don't really want to ship but will if the price is met. PayPal only

    Year & 1/2 maybe 2 years. Nothing wrong w/ them. I just bought some Icon ext. travel coil overs to take advantage of my Camburg UCA's.

    It did give me a little more alignment specs. But I don't think it was completely necessary
