Same here, I had quotes averaging $1400 so I ordered new complete lowers and hardware kit and went for it. When I had it aligned I asked them to double check everything for peace of mind lol.

They take a little time but they are very doable as long as you have the tools.

I’ve done 3 sets of lowers now, the first time was daunting after that it was no big deal

I ordered the lowers off eBay, hardware kit from Atlantic British. Tools, just basic hand tools and my cordless 1/2 dewalt impact, I did have a grinder just Incase I had to cut anything off. The only tool I did not have was a torque wrench that went high enough, mine stopped at 150lbs so that’s why I hade alignment shop check everything and re-torque the axle nuts. When do you plan on doing this?
