Heres my quote up in canada as of feb

Front
OME 2927 X1 $242.70
OME front shocks 90009 X2 $255.12

Rear
OME 2948 X1 $242.70
OME shocks N132L X2 $140.66

Total: 1276 CAD

Any parts worth swapping? Im aiming at 2.5 atm, gona grab a backbone front end rather than going to 3.5

Is it worth using a different front shock? Theyre pretty expensive

Hey, I'm in Onterrible :D I feel ya on the exchange rate. I need tires and now the Cdn prices are almost equal as USD/exchange which sucks.

Personally, I'd recommend the OME shocks. I put in Ironman in the front and they don't seem to be as smooth as the rear OMEs that I bought. Btw, you can get more lift for not too much extra. You could get the JBA spacer to go on top of the strut when you install it ($27ish; install above the top plate). After you install the lift, just do a clevis lift at the front to gain a bit more also. Then at the back, stack 2 more isolators (in addition to your original, total of 3 on each side) for some more lift.

Good idea to put in the backbone. Hope you like it...I've been thinking about getting one.

Im not going beyond 2.5 just yet cause of the control arms, they cost about the same as the detours backbone

Seems like there is a need for more aftermarket solutions

Not sure what you mean about the control arms - unless that's a CRD thing?

If you have a gasser, you can definitely get an extra ~3/4" over the regular OME lift by lifting at the clevis at the front for free. The rear lift with iso's is cheap cheap cheap. What are your current hub to fender measurements? I was at 18" before my lift (measurements below).
