We'll see how this turns out. I told him I'd at least pay half, and I have been searching for deals on new and used shocks. He seems very appreciative that I'm wanting to help out. My bet is that when it comes down to it he'll tell me to put my portion towards some disc brakes for my rig instead, and maybe help him out with installing insulation on his house or something. If he did accept my 1/2 portion, though, I wouldn't hold it against him.
