That package installed? I suppose its ok, but think of what performance you want cause its gonna be pretty slow, not to mention tank fill is gonna be pretty slow as well. The fact that its being installed for that price is what makes it a decent deal.

I want to be "slammed"
How long does it usually take to install the full kit?

if you know what your doing with a bunch of buddies and 4 jack stands, 1 day to lay the line and wire and build trunk setup. and then 1 day to put everything together, preassure test and make sure everything is working.


for a shop on a lift im not sure.

Depends on how fast they can install it. I got mine done in a day.

As for slammed. They probably dont know the secret mods to make that happen as well as may not do them due to their content. You need to shave the mount up front and you can get a good inch to two inches more of drop (but then again, the billet kit takes care of that) for the back there are 'cups' that are like 3 inches long that you can cut in half or eliminate completely and put a strong washer in there to drop all the way I havent heard of any kits from UAS like the billet for the rear.

circled part cut or remove the whole thing and replace with washer. This part holds the strut from going through the top hat.
