Shocks Shocks Shocks

OK, just another shock thread. I was thinking of the Bilsteins, good pricing, if you shop around. However, just stopped by the local Les Schwab store, and they are selling their shocks for around $260 installed, claims comparable to the Bilsteins. They have a higher end shock that runs around $260 carry out that they claim is even better than the Bilsteins and the Rancho. They also carry the steering stabilizer in a Rancho, say that is the only thing that will fit, for $60 installed.

Question for all of the Northwesterners, any experience with the Les Schwab shocks?

The guy I was talking to, claims that he has had the Bilsteins and their shock is every bit as good, but then of course he is trying to sell me theirs.

The Les Schwab shocks both have a lifetime warranty, and you can trade up or down, if not happy with the performance, just for the difference in price.

TIA for any advice.

Shelby
