Thanks for the feedback... my long-term goal is to install an evo long-arm high clearance kit and bolt-on coilovers

... my pocketbook doesn't seem to agree at the moment...
one local shop quoted me
30 hours of install time to install both the long-arm kit and bolt on coilovers. Does that amount of time seem correct in your experience with the install? the install is way above my youtube watching mechanical skills... lol so its definitely not a project i will attempt to tackle.
ohh an I did install a stock front sway bar to replace the currie anti-rock... WOW what a difference. very happy with the highway driving again. who knew. now on to search for a good set of quick disconnects for the front sway bar.
