If you're talking about what I think you are, you got your DSSVs via the junk yard.  Nothing wrong with that.  Just a matter of time until the junk yard figure out what they have.  Iirc, that's been discussed in another thread. 

Yea i got mine from a JY, but also check out FB/Craigslist. I found a set of takeoffs there going for $800 that i shared in this thread.

I just installed Fox 2.5 Coil Overs with Reservoirs all around with Icon Upper Control arms along with the Deavers Full Rear Leaf Springs in the rear and I’d be willing to bet its a better set up than the Chevy ZR2 set up.

I would STRONGLY argue against that.  FOX, KING, etc are very nice traditional shocks, but the ZR2 is a completely different engineering design that outperforms the traditional shock in nearly EVERY category, most importantly adjustability.  Even Ford passed up King, Fox, etc. to install the spool valve shocks on their Baja Bronco.  Spool valves are the future, and you will see major suspension companies transitioning to them in the future and utilizing those shocks in modified forms for their long travel setups.

Yea like @Gangly says the Spool valve tech is far more advanced than the Fox/King setups. Id only recommend Fox/King if youre going full long travel setup front and rear. Check out the vids on youtube explaining what makes these so special. Probably the only thing that could outperform them are some of the magnetic/hydraulic setups however they arent durable due to heat dissipation. In a short course they can outperfom DSSV but theyd fail offroad over any appreciable distance.
