    I'm with Ryan, I've bought several used sets over the years, & I've never seen any difference.

    What I have noticed, is that if any in the set have failed, it's always been one of the fronts.
    hm strange.. my rears were much worse than my fronts... but i have hauled a lot of stuff through the rough streets of philly... including about 800 lbs of canned food and close to 700 lbs of stone (not at the same time)

    That is what I did, got the Rancho 9000xls, although they are not as stiff as I would have liked, having the ability to turn them down to 3 or 4 when wheeling is a lifesaver. Those rocks are not so bad when the shocks are "squishier" so not so much bouncin.

    Well, there is just about 15 minutes left on the eBay site for bidding. Things should get really interesting in the last few seconds in the bidding war.

    Wow, $610 for the pair (1-front + 1-rear) was the final tally.
