They probly came out of someones anus for that price. Dont cheap out on suspension...not safe in any way. Youll need more like 500 bucks for a good suspension setup.

not for coilovers, their strut/tie bars are fine. dont cheap out on something like coilovers. u really want 2500lbs riding on something that has very little thought put into its design and only cost $50? leave it stock, save up and in the mean time do more research on products and suspension components.

cheapest mediocre setup ur gonna find is dropzone........i had bomz and they are really bouncy and will blow out ur shocks. However they do give u a niice drop and if u can take the sh*tty ride, def get them for the time being until u save up for something better. And DIY that way u dont have to waste money for installation, then when u get ur new setup, have to pay them the same amount again. The ride willl suck.....theres no question, so just realize what ur gettin urself into.

^ or Ground Controls. Skunk2 is (usually) hit-or-miss with product quality, but the only moderately negative thing I've heard about their coilovers is that the spring rates are too low (soft) for some peoples' tastes. And I have yet to hear something negative about Ground Control coilovers.
