Oh man, did I ever get to have that fun experience. I would try PB blaster and a thorough torching first, that actually works wonders to save from breaking bolts or having to cut them out.

The hardest part about the install, by far, was getting the stock toe links out. Those were a b*tch.

Yea, I started with the torch but it was taking too damn long, so a few short minutes with a metal blade and the lateral arms were free. Still have the toe links to pull and burn the stock mount bushings out for the mustache brace and forward mounts.

I am almost wondering if it would be more time effective to find a rear sub-frame that has less corrosion on it (if that exists in the midwest?)

Alright, so once I added everything up the cost isn't crazy cheap, but I'm thinking full setup for $145, is that reasonable? That comes with 2 slugs (1045 steel), 2 Chromoly Rod ends, 2 jam nuts, 4 stainless steel spacers (to get the right length to bolt into the subframe bracket)

I'd sell just the slugs for $80 per set, machined and threaded for 7/8-14 RH threaded rod end.

Let me know what you guys think.

I think $145 is reasonable for a complete product. Do the rod-ends include the hemi-bearings like your photo?

ok, so i'm ordering materials...

Tachyon are you ok with just the short 2" slugs as opposed to the long ones (4", with hole) that I posted pictures of? They are super heavy and will cost more than the price I quoted. I realized I didn't make that clear. If you have the ability to weld, you will be fine with the shorter ones, and you'll be adding less unsprung weight.

Lighter is always better with me. Nothing a welder cannot fix :)
