Default Throw away OEM susp?

Hey fella's,

I've had my OEM suspension (2008) sitting in the back of my pickup ever since I went with the KW V3's.

I really see no reason keeping them since I had to saw the top mounts off the front. Anybody have any issues with just throwing them away?

Thanks in advance

you should keep them just in case you ever want to sell the car and put it back to stock; just buy top hats from sewell or something when you sell the car.

well with the adjustable KW's I could just raise it up and I'm pretty sure nobody would be the wiser

I'd think even without the top hats they are worth some money... Try selling the parts to a salvage yard or places that sell used car parts.....
