Dang that looks good! Wish I had gone that route instead of the leveling spacer. Are they expensive?

Thanks...Most shops want from $700 to 800 buck's for the 4 shocks..install and alignment...and that's before tax! Big difference in the ride and handling and the leveling part is a bonus!

You can save a little if you order the shocks online and have Patrick put them on.

Held the truck to 70 this morning instead of the usual 75 and averaged 22.0 on the trip to Athens.

I think it's more a case of them overcharging.
