Default Stock parts after lift install - How long do you keep

How long after your lift installation do you get ride of the stock parts... coils, LCA, shocks,...

I installed the RC 3.5" Series 2 lift.

Mine went in the scrap iron pile at my brother's shop the night I installed the lift. They're no good to me and no value to sell might as well toss 'em.

If you're just gonna toss them most body shops would love to take them off ur hands. U may even get a few bucks for them because they will charge their customer for them.

Just lifted my 2012 JKU. I put the stuff up for sale on here and on craigslist.
I don't think it will sell any time soon but, maybe a year from now, someone will have had enough time to beat up their jeep. Now they will come looking for that track bar or control arm I have had laying around.
If it takes me a year to make 50 bucks, and I had to do zero work, that's time well spent.
