basically I had to drill custom holes and make custom rails for the rear for strength and cause the rear rails slant up so i had to make straight rails for the rear end to bolt on.. also had to cut out the arear for the spare tire to make room... there was other cutting done and other things done to make the rear end area stronger to deal with the torque and hp that was never meant for the rear end
as to wheel gap right now i have ground controls that i will install and when i have the money i'm buying AST coil over struts (12 point dampening and height adjustable)In the Garage

it cost me $900 for the rear subframe and was only missing a few parts... the new studs to bolt it on were around $15, the sheet metal to make custom rails was around $30, the other stuff i used to add support and some of the various tools i had to buy cost around another $40, my friend had a welder so i didn't have to by one of those, so i paid around a grand for the rear end set up but that isn't including the time i spent cuting, measuring and all that stuff and also not including the cost of either buying a welder or having someone weld for youIn the Garage
