should also note how we did it for anyone who was wondering.
1 Took off bumper
2 Measured and cut off old frame rails.
3 fit new rails in place and bolted back into mount location.
4. Welded it all up.

pretty simple. We did have to cut off the dual exaust near the end but I was getting new tips anyways so it worked out fine.

Makes a big difference in time not having to cut and weld in the new mount positions.

I wish you were a little closer to me. I am about 2 - 3 hours east of you in Oshawa.

Oh and I have Conrads kit and it is really good. I just wish he would spray the inside of the tubes with some weldable primer to prevent rust while the part is waiting to be installed.

I know this thread is old but I was curious about this.

Anyone care to share what Conrad charges for his kit + shipping to the U.S? That's if he's still into this anyway.
