2001 to 1997 Suspension???

I have got an option to pick up some suspension components offa 2001 limited and was wondering what I would benefit from. I am all stock and so is the 01. You know. . . shocks, springs, etc, I don't know. The 01 had a front end collision and the interior is sold (I wanted heated seats!) but it seems susp. is available. Whats a good e$timate for the price of shocks and springs (and anything else you could recommend) from a 01? Oh, wheels sold too Thanks a lot people.

well the front suspenders may be damaged but if there not I wouldn't pay more than $200 for the whole lot since its used and stock. I would be unsure about the front end parts since it was wrecked.
good luck

$200 would surely be on the high side. Perhaps $100?

Be prepared to sit lower if you actually got these springs. I'm not sure why you would do this swap unless yours are sagging currently.

I guess I am a little confused as to why you would want the springs off of the '01.

They will sit a little lower than your '97, and may be damaged... Are these going to be spares?

I could not really find any info on the 01 suspension and I guess i was just thinking that I would get some lift out of the swap. I was intereseted in the suspension because that was all he really has left. thanks for the help.

cuz mine has 110k miles, might be sitting a bit lower than originally and I think i remember on some "suspension round-up" someone gas on their website, a combo with stock front coils with OME shocks to "balance things out". I wasn't thinking like 2"! . . .I guess I was confused :pat:
