    figured I'd bump these back to the top since BigBill's Billstein buy shocks are starting to show up
    note the ones from the group buy don't come with any hardware

    Thanks Josh!

    Well I dident realize you need the hardware, I will order the hardware and give you guys a good deal on them too.

    The Guy on Ebay just sells the shocks the same as me for $259 + 14 shipping. So I think the hardware is cheap but I will charge you guys the auctal cost on those if you buy the kit from me.

    Bill,
    Let me know when you get the hardware. I will be needing some of those nuts. If you can't get them soon I will just go to the dealer to pick them up.

    Thank,
    Ken

    **** UPDATE.. YOU NEED THESE BOLTS...

    I was under the impression that you could re use your stock isolator bolts.

    In the front the bolts work, in the rear (On my truck) They do not work. I took the old shock out, put the new one in and started threading the bolt DUHHH..

    Anyways I will get a price (Probably all of $5 or something) and let you guys know

    Thanks
    Bill

    swapped out the rear QA1's w/ heim kit with a set of L spec Bilsteins.

    Compressing the shock w/out the band was a BIATCH.

    TIP: start at the bottom and pull down vs. starting at the top and pushing up with no leverage. Damn physics.

    Test drive was equally enjoyable.

    For all of you looking for the "Medium deep socket" go to Napa and get the impact socket. The part number for the 21mm is 61-2321
