If it still had all that it would be for sale for $7k.

Not really trying to argue. But that was around 2500 in brand new tires, about 4-5k worth of axle parts, and a 6-800 in shocks.


Add that to all the money in all the brand new 1.25heims and link suspension parts, frame plating, custom tube work, and other extras, 7k would not be a bad price at all

Just saying, as a roller he could have sold the whole thing vs. selling the axles, tires, shocks for ?$ and $2k for the shell and tubing that will probably sit for a while.

And we don't know how much he sold the axles, tires and shocks for.

It would have been a running driving jeep, not just a roller

Oh my bad. Do those still replace springs and all or do you still have to run springs with them. Not familiar with how those work.

Sounds like a less-expensive, decent alternative to ORIs. Thanks for the info.
