Does anyone know who has the best buy on Koni shocks?

Ebay, Summit Racing, or the guy Dustan in this post.

This is awhile ago so you need to comparison shop.

The Koni rear for a 2500 is 2" shorter than original, the Koni for the 3500 is 1" shorter.
I would order the 3500 rear shock that is at least closer to the correct length.

I wouldn't be doing this...they are not directly interchangeable! There is no reason to not use the 82-2434 on an 06 2500. Believe me...I've sold hundreds and hundreds of these without any issues.

Thank you, John

Why do you say they are not interchangeable?
The mounts are the same and the damping rate is adjustable.

The currently available Konis for the 2500 were designed for the Euro market where they use 15" wheels and lower ride height.
IMO, a replacement shock with 2" less extended length in not correct for the 16" US Sprinter.
