by painted letters I meant you paint. I think duplicolor makes some dumb kit for it. OWL/RWL are not painted on, they are part of the tire like a white wall. I've seen guys try to paint on letters. never looks good long. i don't think there are tires out there in that size that are not rwl. you'd just mount them black side out if you want no letters. if you change your mind you hive them remounted. but that is the 'looks' part, if you ever plan to mount them rwl.

so you are replacing all the control arm bushings and rear trailing arm bushings and all? Cool. That is a lot of work but then all the rear alignment adjustments should be clean and loose. If you need an alignment you better bring your own rear toe shims. I wouldn't expect any normal shop to have them on hand.
Gotta be done the front a arm bushings are almost nonexistent at this point. So I got the total suspension kit from ecklers and the guys at BBC in Rahway said they'd help me fill in the blanks.
