Default Anyone buy from 4Wheel Parts?

I'm shopping around for my future lift. Which I probably wont have the money for anytime soon... Who does?

Anyways... Stumbled upon 4WheelParts.com and they've got some decent deals going on. I'd like to get the RE 3.5" lift. Right now I have it priced at 4WheelParts for $555.74 shipping is free, with full leaf packs. This is the cheapest I've found it, and sounds like a killer deal to me. Of course the shocks aren't included. For Blisteins 5100, I've got the front shocks for $161.48, and the rears the same price... More expensive then SeriousOffRoad by a couple bucks, however the shipping here is also... Free. Which I think comes out being less money.

My total for the lift kit and shocks: $878.70, free shipping.

Quiet honestly these are the most expensive shocks I've ever seen. About $80 a shock. Is this price accurate? I'm assuming they aren't sold in pairs at this price, because I see nothing listed as a "set". Anyone else know of some killer deals?

EDIT:

What I'd really like to do is aim for a 3" kit, to further avoid doing an SYE, which I hear is expensive... Any suggestions?

I am a former employee of 4WP , You better read the fine print. I am guaranteeing that their is a handling charge ! Unless it is worded free shipping to a Store an last time I checked there were no stores in NH.

An did you price out Serious Offroad with the CF member discount ? Also Start Pricing out Piecing together your lift . I have $680 into my RE 3.5" lift with Full leafs, Bilstein 5100 shocks F&R, An with Stainless Steel extended Brake lines

It is just telling me "Free Ground Shipping"...

I was trying to price out my parts at SOR. However I'm somewhat new to the whole suspension lift thing, so I was unsure of what I needed exactly. Was just trying to match everything up the best I could. A lot of picture eyeballing. Also I believe the SOR discount has been dropped to 5%???

I've been through the vendor section a few times. I've checked with Zone, RC, and RE...

The thing that gets me is the hardware. Do I want the shock adapter bracket hardware kit, or the sway bar/shock mount stud kit? lol Probably some really stupid questions.

Each kit will come with needed hardware. Stock style shocks will come with what is needed.

So if I get Blisteins, they will come with their own mounting hardware?

Also, do I need a brake line front and rear, or just rear?

Check the parts info on the kit. Most all RE kits come with new brake lines.
And yes the Bilstiens will mount right up if you make sure to order the right ones.

I found they're parts list right on their website... Duh, stupid me. It also notes... Rear pinion shims will need to be used when using the stock CV driveshaft. Degree shims I'm guessing?

And when people complain of bad vibes, is this only during 4WD in the front? Or in 2W in the rear as well?

Lol I can't... I'm too OCD for a t-case drop.


Anyways... I have this lift pieced out. The entire 3.5" super ride lift, with Blisteins, $839.00 + s&h. How the heck did Tom manage $680? This is without an adjustable track bar.
