Does the Hotchkis TVS require any welding to install.

Does the Hotchkis TVS suspension upgrades involve any welding. i have painted my car and now have decided to upgrade the suspension. I know i should have done this before it was painted. Any ways. what do you guys recommend. does this Hotchkis unit just bolt on and go or is there welding required.

I have most of that kit on my car. If you are adding their rear sway bar you will need to weld some brackets to the frame. As I recall that's the only welding required. Wait if you are installing their front sway bar you will need to cut /weld one brace to get the bar in. The upper A arms are bolt in as well as the frame connectors. Best place I have found o get their stuff is Summit, they are cheaper than I can buy them from Hotchkis and I know John Hotchkis, met him at his shop they have a mopar show there every year but Summitt sells cheaper than Hotchkis. Overall good stuff, but pricey. I am changing mine out going with tubular K frame and rack n pinion.
