Default Where to get best price on RE 3.5" SuperRide (6025)?

Hey all, doing my internet research and have found pretty good prices but could use your help finding the best deal possible. I only ask because I've been very impressed with the resources people have on this site.

This is what I'm looking for:
1. RE6025 = Rubicon Express 3.5" SuperRide with full leaf packs
2. monotube shocks to fit
3. Best trackbar for under $140

Thanks for your help,
s

Yeah, I've been talking to Joe and he definitely has good prices. Interestingly his twin tube prices are better than his mono-shock prices. Regardless, he seems to be a great guy, but seeing now that he is from California, I just don't know. I've heard all sorts of interesting things about them Californians up here in Wyoming .

If I could get a better deal though, I would. I don't mean to be rude or disrepectful to him, but I don't make enough money and my wife and kid take just about all of it so now that I've got a bit, I have to spend it very wisely.

Wish that were an option, but I can't go slowly but ultimately invest more money. My kid eats a lot.

Ultimately, I think I have microbrew tastes on a macrobrew budget if you know what I mean. I don't want to go Rough Country (although I must admit I have no experience with them...insightful, I know), but that it my budget. Regardless, it has to be better than blown stock suspension with a rigid as all get out bastardpack.

Their reviews are just so mixed. They seem to be a love em' or hate em' type of company and I'd go insane if I invested $700 on a lift with full leafs that fell short of my expectations. It is clearly more of my issue than theirs, but what can I do?

Who is from CA ? Me ?



Read my profile a little closer. Perhaps you need glasses.



Twin Tubes by nature are a cheaper shock (construction wise). Just because there are 2 tubes doesn't make it "better"



Mike hit the nail on the head .. you just need to think it out. Try as I might --- I am not going to make every potential sale that comes my way. There is always something better, different, cheaper, etc out there.


Appreciate your asking regardless.



Joe

Mike, I know you're from CA. But it really looked like Seth was saying *I* was from CA.


Everyone has a preference. You just stated yours. Not going to ruffle any feathers.

My deepest and most sincere apologies. I thought Mike was talking about you being 20 minutes from him and I saw he had California plates. PA is quite a different story. In fact, I'm headed to Philadelphia in February. I know, I know Blakeslee is an hour and a half out, but their close.

Bout the lifts though, my buddy is going back and forth on his set up. If I can muster up the cash, I'd get the 6025 with monotubes and he would get the 6025 "with whatever it comes with". We'll chat over PM or email when I can get this all straightened out.
