3k is about right on the money for a no BS estimate on just paint and labor. Right on!

Got these for $600 Shipped in the Marketplace. Only 500 miles on them. I paid this afternoon and he shipped them today. Comparable to BC Racing... I'm wondering if I should get camber arms even though thes are OEM style so I will still have a spring bucket...

Sorry if this is a newb question but how would you adjust your camber if you didn't have a camber kit? I'm assuming you plan on lowering at least a little?

the camber arms are separate from the spring bucket, the spring bucket bolt is the one that will do toe...

Phreak, you're definitely gonna need rear camber arms, and maybe front arms depending on how low youre going to go. I would just be safe, get front and rear camber arms, rear toe bolts, and then you will be able to have full control for alignments.

Check out the spl midlinks too. They replace the rear spring buckets, but are the same style...only adjustable for toe too...then you can slam it as low as you want and still have the alignment in spec.

It's already done, but doesn't that compromise structural integrity?

not really. unless u screw up cutting . you can keep a little edge, which will be the same amount of material if you were to roll the fender flap up.

oh well. what done is done.

but if I was going to paint that patch up anyway, the fender cut would have been easy .. and the paint would seal it up.
