Put in my second glovebox which has been sitting in the shed for several years waiting on me to pull my finger out. Then also started doing some rewiring. Including an in cab fuse block and my solar regulator for my permanent roof panels. Still have to finish off the wiring though.

Prodiesel Motorsport.
In Melbourne.
Matt has been awesome to deal with.
For a full set or factory 2.0 remote res shocks adjusted to suit your ride was $1700.
I got adjusters added to the rear shocks to control the extra weight when loaded and they are $300 a pair..
And then king springs were $450 the set.

Ohh tempting.... I am considering profenders or armadas as well. Or maybe just go some basic shocks. It's such a mine field out there with shocks. Did you supply corner weights etc? What lengths did you get? What lift springs?

I did leave it in Matts hands mainly as he does this stuff daily.. he is the dealer for fox.and kings so knows his stuff.
I've gone 2" lift.
Supplied axle weights.
He's gone a 2" spring to handle front axle weight.
But rear he's gone 3" standard rate spring as its a bit heavier than most normal cars and the 3" standard rides nicer than a rated 2" coil.
I have gone 8" fronts and 10" rears.
I have also swapped to 80 series bumps all round and I'll need to work out how much up travel I have ad I may need to left the front shock tower..

Imo the shocks are cheap..
It's the add on's that add up lol..
I also got remote res mounts for the front spring mounts, protection boots for the shafts, air bags and bump stops..
So total it was around $3g

I have 80 series bumps in the front already. And firestone rear airbags. I currently have 3inch flexy coils and suspension stuff shocks. Took it in to ARB for a check over and new steering dampener the other week and they mentions my front shocks might be shot. Rears apparently are still ok. But figured I might look at replacing the lot.
It does add up indeed....

Well your pretty will set.
To start I was looking at superior shocks..
I never really looked at armadas as I wanted the adjusters and rebuildable.
I think superior were $1300-1400. around that..
But they are factory set..
They can adjust shims to suit but want the car.
Also I think Matt mentioned it in my thread..
Superior have done shocks before and gone, come and gone and are now back again..
Fox have been around for much longer..
So in my eyes fox was a safer investment.

Do you know what a rebuild cost of foxes are? Also what estimated life between rebuilds?
