they are amazing - somewhere between $200 & $250 (can't remember, i've had them for a few months) - IMHO worth every penny.

When I first spoke to him about it and he told me the price, I was pretty excited.
It took a little over a month b/c i was the first OBS, but he kept the measurements so definitely hit him up...quality of tubing and heim joint are really nice...plus the measurements were spot on!!
Literally, when I measured everything, they got it to within HALF A THREAD on both heims once they were adjusted.

some more progress over the past few days...
The Bilstein 5150's with their heavier valving were simply not valved heavy enough for this rig. So I went with application specific 5100's (they're for lifted rigs) and they are awesome.
I had them on the highway today and they absorbed bumps nicely but still gave a nice tight feel. I actually like the 5100's more then the Bilstein HD's I had on the rig before it was lifted...a little bit softer so the ride isn't as rough.
We also installed a new EGR valve a few days ago b/c simply cleaning the EGR didn't work (electrical short).
Tomorrow is mostly transmission stuff working with the install of a larger cooler and swapping out the tranny fluid.

Some BIG updates this week.
Yesterday I received my package from Viking Offroad - photos to follow tomorrow! This is the highest quality recovery gear I have ever seen, I'm blown away from the fit & finish so far of everything. This gear is our lifeline for when we need recovery, so i will post a review on everything throughout and at the end of this trip...but from what I've heard, their gear is all top of the line.
ARB bumper arrives on Friday and custom center console should be here early next week!!
Last week I finished installing my rock sliders. To test them, we lifted the truck on a auto lift just by the sliders.... and they didn't budge..these things are beasts.
Also, the final date for departure is the 10th (next week). It took a lot longer to finish this rig then we thought, but it's almost done.
Tomorrow I will have lots more photos for everyone!
