you can put them together your self for about $15 and the time it takes you to hunt down the parts at home depot or orchard supply.

i modeled mine after the ones i saw on the Dweb and they work fine!

of course if you dont feel like burning an afternoon chasing down parts... just buy'em

one more thing...

after installing OME MD springs and shocks AND disconnecting the rear swaybars...

you should be VERY happy with the amount of articulation you get!!!! the difference between connected and disconnected is like night and day.

in my case i used to connect and disconnect each time i went wheeling but with the MD setup i found that leaving my rig Disconnected all the time was fine for every day driving.

Take them all off! The rear does nearly nothing anyway, the front on the otherhand if hefty, and it's in the garage next to the rear one, OME HD, and never looked back.

Yep take them all off. Nice shocks can help with the sway.

When I took mine off I was stock with 90K miles and a bunch of sagging.
Didn't notice an on-road difference with the rear off. 2 weeks later I took off the front and only a slight difference with the fronts off. Took about a week to get used to.

Once I put my new springs on, it stiffened right up.
