What To Do With Old Suspension?

What would be the best thing to do with my old suspension since it has been replaced with OME parts?
Stock components are just collecting dust in my closet.
Could I get a few bucks if I scrapped them, or should I save them for some sort of emergency?

I sold my springs for cheap, shocks collected dust for awhile before getting thrown out.

I always just gave them to the " good old boys" who came around looking for junk to get some whiskey. Made them really happy. Last month took 5 sets of coils /shocks to the junk yard. Didn't get that much but I did get enough for ...............................some shine :wink:

Okay. Wanted to see if it would be stupid or not to try to scrap them. Anything more than $20 would be worth the trip. The yard is like 8 miles from my house.

Not sure how long you intend on keeping the KK.. but I'll say the only time I save components is when I know I'll need to revert back to stock to trade in.

Which is never since I keep my vehicles for as long as possible. But something to think about.

Mine are sitting under my bed. If my mom buys the Jeep off me, I promised her I'll put the stock suspension back in it, unless it goes to my sister who might want to keep the lift. Other wise I might drop it on trade if for that future Wrangler lmao

I keep my stuff, just in case I need it. If I had to sell, if something broke and I didn't have the funds for new. But I've never have.

Well I still have my front coilover shocks, and rear springs. My stock rear shocks are on my sister's KJ.

Like Tom I gifted mine to the follow who picks up scrap metal in his beat up F-150 on Saturdays. I had the suspension parts listed on here and on Craigslist for more than 6 months and not even any nibbles, so I decided it was time for them to go. I like having my hallway back now!

I am sure I will be keeping my KK long term and don't ever see myself wanting to go back to stock. Lifted is sooooo much better! :goink:

I vote the same as everyone else. I give them to the local guy who depends on the recycling yard for some cash.

Hmmm I know the fellow that lives a few houses away scraps, but I've never had the opportunity to talk to him before.
I do plan on keeping the KK forever, so I guess I don't need the parts anymore.
