sounds like you guys are getting hosed. my 81, 93 and snowmobile only cost me $326 to plate them for 2 years. apparently this September prices are suppose to go up which is why i had re-plated them for 2 years.

I'm surprised you did that well. lol

Just a little. lol



As for the registration convo, I just paid the state of Texas $65 for my registration. My dad's was $63....his weighs all of 700lbs less then mine. >.<

Installed a set of Procomp ES9000's on my truck. Paid $135 with boots shipped from 4wheel Parts, they had a buy 3 get one free deal on the low end procomp shocks. the ES9000's are the Nitrogen charged ones, and they seemed to make a major improvement over the original 1995 Chrysler shocks haha.

Im wondering how those compare to their ES3000 shocks. Sounds like you got a nice deal.

They seemed pretty similar by description, the difference being nitro vs hydro. I don't know enough about shocks to tell you the difference, but for only $2 more per shock, I saw no reason not to get the ES9000's. BTW to anyone else reading, the buy 3 get one free deal for ES1, 3, and 9000's is still running at www.4wheelparts.com.
