With those rear support shackles on the mutt, I think body rust is prevalent, which I think using body sealer/adhesive with the installation will prevent it??

I think 100 -150 is fair but it depends on where your at and how bad you want one. You also have to figure in shipping costs too. I'll have over $300 bucks in this last one I bought when I factor in shipping but its worth it to me
The support brackets for the back just bolt on to the rear corners. I haven't seen any reinforcing brackets on the inside of the rear corners on my A-1 or A-2.

Those rear brackets are known for collecting dirt and mud and in turn water which just lays in there and never dries, needless to say what the end result is.
