If u do wield them u need to do only a lil
Bit at at time it will heat up those balls joints fast. Unless u pull them. So alternate side to side with only wielding a 1/4"
At at time. And make sure u ground ur wielder to that side ur working on. Evo
C2 pack is a must have in my opinion running 37s all it takes is hitting the right curb to fast. It's a full weekend project I recommend having a buddy to help to through this. Most cases takes between 25 and 60 man hours To complete.

or did I misunderstand something? I was told at a shop it shouldn't take more than an hour and a half, two hours maybe.

Was reading the installation notes from another site and I guess it should take between two to four hours to put gussets in. So maybe about $400 to get them installed at a shop. Does that sound about right?

Something is really off here. I'm at under 3,000 rpm (2800 rpm) on 35s (measure 34.25") with a 6 speed an 4.88s. My guess is your speedometer is off and you're traveling at a higher velocity.
