Comparison Shopping
« on: Aug 14, 2005, 09:45:31 PM »
Since I broke my shock mount I decided to replace the old ones with new hoops, so I just did some web comparison shopping and found a big difference in prices but not much difference in type. So here's what I found in cost order, highest price to lowest:

07. Downey Off-Road:   191.23
06. A.O.R.:                  169.00
05. Downey Off-Road:   117.11
04. Front Range:            89.00
03. A.O.R.:                    74.95
02. All-Pro:                     69.00
01. Marlin:                      59.00

Both of the Downey's were double shocks, A.O.R.'s looked like Ford F-150 stamped steel OEM's (and they are cheaper at Ford), or a complicated over the engine setup, Front Range's is a standard hoop style as is All-Pro and Marlin. The only one the even said anything about custom setup is Marlin, and on top of that there is no extra charge to customize them. Now who do you think I should go with?
