And "No Strut Compressor" required my ***. Had to stop and go get one from Canadian Tires "Loan a Tool". The struts were VERY difficult to get back into position once the spacer was installed. The drivers side was more difficult than the passenger side for some reason.

I can't Imagine they would charge too much, I got my old wheels off, TPMS sensors switched, new wheels and tires mounted and balanced, leveling kit put on and aligned all for $200.00.

Wow! That's cheap. I paid $104 CDN for the alignment alone.
