The cost varies depending on the axle diameter ($51 vs $58). These kits pretty much make it a "driveway mod" without the need to do any welding.

John, I would think those spring seats have to be welded on. Otherwise I think the axles would rotate the first time you applied heavy braking. I couldn't bring up any instructions but would be very surprised (and wary) if not welded. Still an easy job though.
** OK, found the instructions. In item #9 they "strongly recommend" the spring pads be welded to prevent axle slippage.

I guess it CAN be done without welding but I would not.
