the plus is: I got specific time frames on the install and the kit is $93 dollars plus only have to align the toe in on the front end so I can go in there with some knowledge beforehand

When you ask for the quote, make sure that price includes taxes and fees. It's not uncommon for service reps to tack on a $10 shop fee, $5 misc parts fee, etc.

Yeah the way the spacer holes and bolts are regardless you have to rotate them. I also asked them about if there is a particular side for each spacer and they said there is no specific side like there was in 09-13 models.

so you have to rotate the whole assembly and change the angle the bolt go to go back in?

The bolts from the strut that enter at the bottom of the spacer are not in the same spot as the bolts on the top of the spacer. They are actually reversed. So in sense you are rotating it so it will mount.

just spoke with them on the phone and you do have to rotate it. Taking out the bolts helps for removal and reinstall. I ordered the 2" so I won't be nose high.. He it may be that way with the 2.5 but I'd rather have a little lift in the front.. I'll put mine in next week that way I'll have time just in case I run into any issues.. Keep me posted and when you are done let me know

Yup, they told me the same earlier when I called to confirm. I got a 2.5'' since my RCSB 2WD looks like it has more rake than a 4wd.
