supnsion setup question
I've started to look at potential suspension upgrades for my Turbo Cab. The shop I go to quoted me ~5K for replacement of the torsion bars and sway bars. The work would also include upgrading all the bushings (solid). This would give me ride height adjustment and a tighter ride. This does not include new shocks. They tell me at the shop that this setup is OK. for street.
2 things. Should I replace the shocks since I have 61K (and climbing rapidly) or stick with what i have since they work OK. still? Is this cost (parts and labor) reasonable?

You'll need to provide a more specific list of the parts that are going in. "sway bars" and "bushings" is too generic.
Prices vary a great deal with competing products, and you get what you pay for. $5k could be very reasonable for the right parts and labor. Or it could be a rip. As for shocks, what type do you have? High pressure Bilsteins lose their gas charge with age, regardless of mileage. Boges would not be up to the planned suspension upgrades. @65k miles, you are approaching end of life anyway.
