+1 on replacing that shock. If you're going to be a cheapskate, then just buy that one. Heck, you might see if they have no interest 12 month financing too.

Not trying to be a hard ***, just wondering why anyone would look to avoid what is 100% normal/required cost to keep ones car safely on the road. Invest in an upgrade of new dampers (forgo replacing the quads and just remove them with a set of new LCA's) and be sure they are a set that meets your ULTIMATE goals

+1 with Jazzer.
I actually thought that he was joking, would somebody actually DO that? Buying used shocks from a junk yard? I don't want to be **** here, but shocks are not something to be trifled with.
