RE: How difficult - Front suspension rebuild

[62pluckedchicken@xxxxxxxxx]

that may be an option.. MO says he knows someone in Omaha.. when MO 
sends his name, I'll give him a shot.. 

there's also a guy in Elkorn NE.. named Frank, I saw a good review under 
his phone listing on the web.. 

If it's around $350 plus parts I could afford to have it done... 

$2K just ain't gonna happen.. my wife will see to that ;)
