flipping the quads doesnt always help, it didnt work for me. You can install upper and lowers yourself it should only take a few hours

It depends on what company you go with for the control arms. For ex: you can go with Maximum Motorsports and I think for the uppers and lowers it comes out to like $4XX or you can go with D&D or someone like that and cut the price in half.
