If this is OK with everyone I have the paypal info for the vendor for us to move forward. Sorry for the last minute kink, but I didnt know until I asked for payment instructions.
That sounds reasonable! 🙌

Here is a diy to give you an idea. With a car on stands instead of a lift you have less room, which I feel makes this job a bit tougher

Bonus update!

Everyone participating in the GB will receieve a $10 store credit good towards future purchases!

But, the GB is limited to 15 spots! I will be posting payment info tonight. If you live far away (SoCal and Yuba City, I will PM you re: getting the product). If someone else lives way far away and cant coordinate to pick up please shoot me a PM and I will see what we can work out.

Sweet. Two spots left guys.

Payment deadline is looking to be Monday 11/25 (let everyone get to payday, lol)

I'll have payment tomorrow. Let me know if you find a shop to do the install, I'm sure I could make it down there. If not I'll just drive down and pick them up or even meet you half way if you're alright with that.

You should as it is two seperate promotions (but i am not the vendor). It gets credited when you make an account on their website. Neither can be applied to the GB though as we are paypaling him directly and not ordering through the site.

But its still $10 cheaper this way, thats how this all got started. Lol

Thanks for the info, Finch! I got your PM regarding payment info, so I'll make sure to take care of that later tonight after work.

I'm in for a group install!

For all the suspension gurus here, does the weight of the vehicle need to be on the suspension when torqueing the bolts? I'm debating installing these myself or just having a shop do it.
