$1300 for just labor to install these items is too much.
i had all that labor (except change springs) for $500 labor in san diego.

also get a tuner so you can get more power and pep out of the h2

I had my Truxxx lift kit (front and rear) installed for $150.00
granted I knew the guy.

no; $1300 for 4 FOX shocks installed

OK that's what the fox shocks 2.5's cost, so your getting free installation.
but shop around you might be able to get a better price on the fox's.

Fox Shocks 2.5's are $400 retail each corner thats $1600 total... The owner of the shop quoted me $1300 installed and out the door. The website you gave me charge $379 each for FOX 2.5's thats more than what I've beeb quoted and thats not even installed...

The thing is should I get the factory replacement FOX Shocks for the H2 or get something else because I'll be doing the torsion key lift when this gets installed....

the fox 2.5 shocks you want are a special part number
Front 980-99-316A
Rear 980-99-317A
the ones on his website are much bigger in size.
you would have to call him and ask what his best price is, it just a option.
the website is one a few buddys used and got better pricing on the fox shocks for there off road buggys. i bought my 4 for $1264 shipped from rod hall racing website.
i have these on the h2 with the torsion key lift and they work great. the shocks are installed without the shock spacer brackets, they dont need them.
if you come down to san diego you can check my h2 out if you like.

Anybody else know of a more affordable upgrade shock upgrade for the Truxxx 2.5/3F-1.5R Lift?

Yeah, buy a set of bilsteins (roughly 80 bucks a shock) for an HD2500

with those fox shocks and the torsion key lift... is your H2 leveled ???

[Cesardajr]

i have a slight prerunner look. i have the h2 a bit over level, this way when i hit jumps the 37's have a little more travel.
depending on the jump the tires rub the wheel well plastic cover.
