BloodRed Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Keep an eye out on CL. I picked up one for my Jeep for $40 a couple weeks ago. As for putting them on, most of them just bolt right onto the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little concerend about the transmission in it, but it seems to shift good so we'll see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
