This is just a results post about the replacement of all 4 shocks. I ordered them all from e-bay and I went with Gabriel Ultra due to the KYB gas-a-just not being in stock even though I was supposed to get the last set of 4. The fronts arrived first. After work a few weeks back the front shocks were installed with little to no trouble once the tires were removed. I believe it took about 2 hours total. The next day the rear shocks were delivered. Jacked the rear up and removed the spare tire and the emission charcoal cannisters for clearance. The rear was easy as could be. Only problem was the FL sand just seemed to be infinite and everywhere. So I am satisfied so far with the Gabriel shocks, they are no Bilstein shocks but will serve a good purpose for the next few years. The cost for all four was $170. The ride so far is a little stiff but holds the road very well and they shine most of all on the interstate.
