never shipped a body kit but seeing as how they are heavy, big, and being shipped across the US, that sounds about right.  Sway bars (~11lbs...3'wide) shipped from east coast to midwest is about 40...35 if you get a place that promises to lose it.

yah thats what i'm afraid of.  i'm not the one paying to get it shipped, but i dont want my buyer getting raped either.  its going out by some guys named box brothers, they said they could only ship it freight, and i'm sure ups wont take it and almost sure fedex wont take it...has anybody personally shipped a body kit?
