They are made using the nickel plated Bilstein 5100 shocks. I hear they are going to be about $400. I plan on ordering one next week. I will be getting one much more for looks than function. As you can see I have a fabtech dual steering stabilizer now that works fine. I just would prefer to have the stabilizer match my Bilstein 7100 shocks.

I'm trying to not get involved in the 'Lift Kit Wars' going on... so if your interested email or PM me and I'll tell you a couple of good sources that have or will have them available in a few days.

Yeah, what Rottn said about the setup is as much as I know too. I think they just got shipped out to dealers this week.

I'll be using the brackets that come with the edge kit. I like the way it looks. As I said it's purely for looks. Just projects a more finished look with the 7100's I already have. I'll sell the fabtech dual stabilizers for a few bucks. I know it's a lot of $$$... but I'm addicted. I Can't Help Myself!

If you were really terminal (like myself) you would go for matching custom valved 7100s for use with the kit.
