Anyone gotten a quote for a rod bolt install? For those who have done it, how much would you charge to install a set?

You have to resize the rods when you do it... So I've been told, theres definately a right and wrong way to do it.

YOu need to drop the K Member to do it right. It is not easy at all and would require an alignment on top of everything. 400.00 ain't bad for the work involved.

Thanks guys, I think $250-$300 is a decent price for a private installer.

I imagine $300 is a good price.

Actually, yeah that does look kinda familiar. (Look at my user name) I was just wondering what you guys thought was a fair estimate for this job because I have a local asking me to do the swap for them. I didn't want to over or under charge him. Thanks for the feedback guys!

get Katech rod bolts and I'm pretty sure you don't need to resize or align or anything like that. They are stock "blueprinted" so they are the same size and weight, just stronger.
