Really? The Best Mod?
Where in the world do you see that?!? Pro Comp simply sells/includes Billsteins in their system kits. Far cry from owning the company.
To give you an idea, Bilstein is a HUGE international company. Pro Comp is a small off road manufacture in CA.
I just assumed one was bought out by the other. My bad
So thanks to GAfjc, I got my bilstein shocks from Autozone. Went to a local store, picked up a pair for $75 each. There is no beating that price, I hope

Glad to help. If someone finds them for less i would like to know for next time. When I ordered online I expected to get an email from Autozone saying the price was a mistake. Never happened and then the $45 in gift cards came. I'll use them towards my AT flush.
Thanks GAfjc I just bought a set for $320 total! You just saved me about $160 if you count the gift certificate! I definitely compared the part numbers on the shocks to make sure they were the same HD's all the other places were selling for $440+ Glad I didn't pull the trigger and order from Eshocks last week. They couldn't order the HD's in my local Auto Zone and the teller just recommended ordering online. A local independent shop I have had work done at before wanted almost $750 for these same shocks!!!!!! Not going to be going there anymore. GAfjc if you are coming to SurfNTurf I definitely want to buy you a beer.
I put KYB's on my 02 before a week long trip to and around SD this summer. Couldn't be happier. I've put Bilstein on many trucks in the past including my FJ62. Not impressed in the long run. I have KYB's on my 97 80, 02 100 and had them on my 97 'runner also. Happy with all.
Price is right too.

Bilstein shocks
This may be a dumb question; Will there be length or extension issues with the Bilsteins if you add a 2.5" lift later?

How will you address that? With the shock fully extended, how does it effect the ride.
I don't know what tools he uses...it's been some time since I watched. He's swapped out rear shocks for me in about 30-minutes total every time. I'll have to ask...he has a zillion tools. Maybe he has some tiny 90-degree power tool that takes care of the top. ???
Literally...shocks and springs in an hour max. ???

There is a 2.0 option available that does not have a reservoir. This will work with aftermarket UCA's which are necessary to get more droop. Unfortunately they are not in the $69.00 each range, but they do not cost $400.00 each either.

Come on.....just because you don't want to or feel like paying the price asked does not mean they are overpriced!
There are enough companies now offering remote resolver shocks to understand the common market price for such items. RadFlo fall in line with that market price I've witnessed.
Looks like the least expensive RadFlo shock that offers longer extension is $214/each for front and $218/each for rear (intro MetalTech prices).
