    That's around the mark for Australian prices Gazz... It really pains me to say this but they are much cheaper from the US. Check out the threads on this.

    I think so.

    I priced Billies for my RR. They were $220 each in Oz. I bought a set from the USA for US$359 + US$126 shipping.

    Thanks Scott

    I just bought heavy duty Billies for $444 delivered from the US. I wonder about pricing in Oz, is it small volume or is it something else?

    Well my brand new heavy duty Bilstiens are in (yesterday), now I'm off to Newcastle today 6 1/2 hours on the Hwy and then maybe Stockton beach?

    That's actually a pretty good price.

    I got 4 Billies for my 130 (slightly heavier duty units) and they were US$530 delivered from eShocks (from memory).

    I got quoted over $1K for the same shocks from an Australian supplier, so $640 is OK I think to save you from the hassle of organising an overseas purchase.

    Where is everyone buying there billies overseas from? are they standard valved? i priced up some yesterday for 10in travel with custom valving 380 each, but not sure which series of shock they are.........

    but i have been told that the shocks available here are german built and the US ones are US built andnot as good quality?

    I got mine from TruckSpring.com

    Only issue is that they have the same open lengths as the OEM units which isn't fantastic with a 2" lift.
    If you search Aust suppliers most quote them as suitable for 0-2" lift so I took the risk.

    Yet to take it offroad since installing them but I think they're already bottoming out on speed humps (to be confirmed).

    Cheers,
    Rez
