    You are correct if you are in driving range, and can pick the item up without paying shipping. I live in Georgia and shipping was a deal killer. I ended up saving 20+ dollars by not going with wheelers.(shipping+tax). It sucks because I really wanted to give them business, but when it comes down to it 20 dollars is 20 dollars.

    That's alright.

    I don't like Wheelers, my first purchase of their AAL was good but the second- which was $1200 instead of $150, was like pulling teeth.

    I ended up going to @HeadStrong Off-Road and saving $300 even after paying sales taxes since they're in CA (so am I), and I had my stuff next day. It was awesome. Now HeadStrong has their own 3 leaf AAL, at a great price - so there's even less reason to choose Wheeler's version for cost reasons.

    My 5100s and AAL were purchased from Wheeler's. Great customer service in my experience.

    I ended up using Wheelers to order my parts. They had everything in stock and the transaction was seamless. Would definitely use again.

    Straight from the horses mouth. Worth remembering this applies to all of the 3 leaf progressive AALs sold by the various vendors (ToyTec, Wheeler's, HeadStrong, Icon, etc,.) as they're all produced by the same leaf spring manufacturer to the same specs, with different stickers and different price tags.

    Single leaf is better than 3 leaf.

    New leaf pack is better than OEM pack.

    I think I saw those once.

    Then I was abruptly yanked out of Heaven and brought back to real life where that isn't even remotely possible.

    You need aftermarket UCA'S for extended travel coilovers, I'm pretty sure.
