I wasn't aware Fabtech madea coil spring.

Edit: Found the parts you'll need:

2
FT30104
Front Shock

2
FT30103
Coil Perch

2
FT30110
Coil Perch Support


That sounds like alot of hardware for what the Bilsteins will do themselves.

I'm not sure how the ride and cost compare, I was just trying to let you know your options.

Nope.

The Fabtech and Bilstein lift struts just relocate where/how the strut is mounted in the entire assembly. Fabtech does this by providing a new perch that works with their strut. Bilstein uses a snap ring to set the strut in your factory assembly.

Hopefully your shop has it all figured out tomorrow at a good price.

Yup.

Sorry for the long-winded explination. I was trying to convey how the actual assembly went together, but you summed it up better.

That price sounds like coilovers.

I would call Josh @ Sportztrailers and give him the part #'s I listed above to see what he can came up with. Phone # ---> 1-866-922-0093 ext 107

I agree. That sounds like the price for the Dirt Logic coilovers, not the basic white bodied coilovers.

the 1100 was for the basic strut assembly. because he told me he could sell me the coilovers cheaper.

Those Bilsteins sound better for $315 shipped to your door.
