Just wondering what a good price is for this conversion. I've been given a quote, but it seems pretty pricey. I'm not sure whether to ditch this guy, or let him have the car.
Any ideas would be great
Cheers

Thanks for that. The quote I got was for $1900 fitted, and I did think this was a little on the rich side.
How's the ride with the Pedder's conversion? Ride height? What kind of guarantee did they give you?
Cheers

Keep the air struts.
they are under $700 now for each corner. If only one is buggered, it is the cheap way out

Refresh of an old thread! Im lookin in to this conversion now and want the cheap way out, not so concerned about the functionality, oviously working
but mainly as a daily driver with some longer road trips, not much off road.
Found AlpineRavens struts
vbclassified.php?do=ad&id=160
good move? plus some springs obviously, anyone seen anything else thru their travels?
Have a 11/1991 AWD Gen1 Liberty Wagon if that helps....
also if i had to replace everything new, im guessing the word on the street is KYB struts and king springs...
