I got it for $1,400 delivered about three years ago. I just checked and now they are $1,600. Might still find a deal. The thing is HEAVY but easy to move. Well worth it to me.

No doubt, very cool!

Let us know how you like the ride, Nick!

There is a safety lock on the lift that engages. I raise it up and then lower it down on the lock. Really safe setup and I live it. Sure makes rotations, brakes hell anything for the most part easier to do and takes no time to set up.

Didn't get to take it out for a spin. Had to come in for dinner and then had to go take care of our pool. It is a green pond right now. :(

I need to get ours closed down for the winter. At least ours isn't green yet.
So, how did the truck ride?

Well my 25 mile drive to the gym and then back was normal. All I can say is the KYB's didn't seem to change much. I guess because my original shocks were still good. :dunno:

So the ride seems the same, no change. Maybe I should have gone with the Bilstiens? :dunno:

If I would have known this I would have save the $250 for the four shocks and put it toward EFILive.

Yeah, kind of disappointed really. I was hoping for some difference but there really isn't any. :(
