I bought my SSD adj kit directly from Elka for $169 and my neighbor is a suspension guru, so he put it together for me for a 6-pack of Natty Lights!! No too bad huh? :D

His shock mod makes a huge difference and it's reasonable ($175).

quadshop did mine. worth it! the only problem i had was after about 8 months, the seal blew out. Plus, you need to have your shocks serviced once a year anyway at about $80 per shock.

YES! :D
I sent mine to TCS in 2001 and it's still awesome. They rebuilt it into a SCS (Sag Control Suspension same as PEP ZPS). They gave me a new valve body, hardened shaft, and dual rate springs... and it only took 10 days from when I sent it in. TCS has great customer service and I would recommend them.
