Negative, you can get the bolt on ones but either weld them in or have them welded in. If it's welded in their not moving on either end.

you got to watch out for the fuel lines, but just get them put in place and dont run one long weld

75 isnt bad if there brand new. They run for around 110 from a company.

Kevin,

Make sure that if you are the one putting them on or anyone else for that matter, to do it on a DRIVE ON 4 post lift, so your car is sitting level under it's own weight.. otherwise if you had it on a 2 post lift, or just jacked up each side and lowered it back down when you were done... the doors might not shut! :lol:

BBK's are good, are they the big round tube style?

If so, I have the same set, they are bolt on as well. I've heard the thing to do is bolt them on, then weld them as well. But, like mentioned BE CAREFUL around your fuel/brake lines... you dont want a runaway strand of hot mig wire burning thru one of those lines when your not watching what your doing.

ive got the bbk square ones as well. i jacked the car up and set all four tires on ramps because i dont have a four post lift. i threw the bolts away and used a mig to put them on.
