^ uh...what??? How does 1400.00 plus shipping and install compare to 300 pick and pull? New pads rotors etc would only be another 200 tops. He'd be saving darn near 1000 and learning brakes at the same time.

side note...four piston fronts would be trick though.

The bolts holding the trailing arms to the lower arms can be a real pain, bring a sawzall just in case so if you snap the bolts you can cut through the lower arm to get the parts home.

and don't slip and headbutt an I-beam like I did [&:]
