How long does it take? I dropped my truck off at 8:30am, I want it back, I feel naked without the keys in my pocket.

Also, they are checking my brakes and rotors for me. And I got some good news for the military people, I just have to brag about it, I made points for SGT! They are 646 for PZ, and I have 671. Just waiting on my name on that list.

unless theyre swamped, and they arent worth a **** it shouldnt take longer then before the close to get it back. like i said i leveled my sisters RC in 2 1/2 with a trip to autozone and thats basically the same process up front. then add 2 hrs max in the rear plus alignment

Alright, I think it's going to be around $450-$500 for the kit, alignment, check brakes/rotors.

She's okay speed. Got the truck back, and it's going to take some time to get use to, with the height. The brakes, rotors and ball joints are fine, so I have no clue what's making the noise when I turn my steering wheel a little bit, or hit the brakes. Brake fluid?



Front wheel:


Rear Wheel:


Then there's the wife who want's credit for my emblems.
