    How hard are the bolt-ons to install? Has anyone here been through the process and is it difficult/what are the steps... If it is infact difficult and you can do it for a reasonable price let me know

    I did mine a few weeks ago....you need alot of time and patience...alot of the kits are universal applications and can be a pain...I got a kit that is only made for my car so it wasn't so bad...took me and a friend about 10 hours or so...a bodyshop might be able to do it quicker but will charge you a pretty penny...good luck with it all...

    from my experience...it is not hard to bolt it up...its hard to adjust it so that it will close right and not fuk up ur inside of ur doors.....and align it straight also.....some shops charges 600+ for labor.....

    I thought mine would bolt right up and such but I did buy a used kit and had to get replacement bolts as well as weld the brackets to one set of the shocks that added to the hassle and all...alot of these kits are a single shock and bracket setup...my kit actually has two shock absorbers and the bracket for one of them mounted over my tires...I had to remove both my fenders and drop my front bumper so it took a bit more time to do...

    whoa damn thanks for the pics.. that must suck the kit i was looking at is new and has 1 shock setup, bolts right up. I guess the adjustments are the hardest part of the install ;\. Is there like an installation manual or say dvd or something i can get lmao
