Try the want ads on this site. There has got to be a lot of guys with lift kits that may have old parts laying about. Kurt

Often it's too much trouble to try to sell them.

Mine were sitting on the side of my garage for 3 years, then I finally threw them out.
Had an ad for about 6 months with no queries.

Yeah, I'm a packrat myself, like I'd put the stock aircleaner back on! Maybe check shops that do lift kit installs and see if they have anyhting. Kurt

Ouch! At 229 each for the lowers and 129 each for the uppers, you guys just put tears of agony in my eyes - that's a 750buck expense, 560 if you can get a discount.

Any front-end fracas, those links are the first things that buckle and fold - try finding a good set in any boneyard, bent-outta-shape but recoverable, much less only slightly warped.

After a year and a half of searching while driving with slightly-warped but recovered set with only passable bushings, I sprung for new, outta desperation - they were eating up a pair of those hard 2.15 Michelins, but that money was allocated for a set of rain-compliant 2.35 Goodyears - sure stop in the rain and better fuel economy with the increased diameter.

Sad lament over, but youse guys really know how to hurt a guy, ya know?
