Dang, just checked rockauto.com and they only want 56.79 a piece. Fronts & rears. I've never bought from them before. Is it worth using them to save 20 bucks over Summit?

Thanks!

Double yes... I spend a couple grand a year with Rockauto. Just make sure you order what you want, or you'll be paying shipping back as well.

Ordered from Rock. Thanks again guys. I sure hope they come in closer to the 2 days of the 2-6 days smile Even at 6, it would be quicker than any of the local shops could have gotten them.

Got the rear shocks installed with just the help of my 7 year old son! Is there anything trickier about the fronts? On the rear, I just used my floor jack and a piece of wood to compress the shocks into place. Hopefully I'll Be able to do the same with fronts.
