I'd say about 50.00 or so...the weld on are much better than putting holes into a frame on which your trying to stregthen right?

Yea, def get them welded, you could probably even take them to a muffler shop or something and have them weld them up if dealers seem too expensive.

yeah get those welded if you can, you have to drill the holes for them. pretty easy to do if you have an angle drill, just have to move the fuel line out of the way.

definitely go with the welded installation. I got mine done at a performance suspension shop for only $100 bucks and they did a really good job of welding them on without drilling any holes in the sub frames. they really help stiffen the chassis up for better handling on the street and better weight transfer on the strip.
