SRT-8 Suspension swap problems

I just purchased a set of SRT-8 shocks/struts/springs from a 06 Magnum from Cleveland pick a part for my 06 300C. When I took them to Big O tires to have them installed, they told me I needed rear spring isolaters and lower control arms from the Magnum. They didn't even get to the front they stopped there. Does this sound right? Jason at Cleveland pick a part stated they should work without all that.

Doesn't sound right to me - but I haven't done the swap.

Big O is a Big 0 (zero) in my book. I brought my car to a Big O to see if they would install my hotchkis sway bars. They inspected my car and saw the swaybars. They said they could do it, but to come back during a weekday when they were less busy. So I make an appointment on a weekday. I drop the car off on the appointment day and walk home, about a 20 minute walk. I get home and hear the phone ringing. It is Big 0 and they tell me they can't do the install because they don't have a stand to support the rear axle. What a bunch of bozo's.

haha oh man what are the chances of me finding this this thread! I am Jason from Cleveland Pick A Part, not here to advertise or anything, but yes I just spoke with my boss and he said there should be no problems getting the setup to work. We have done a swap here using an SRT Charger 6.1 setup the same as yours into a 2.7L charger, so i cant see how they would be different. I also have a 300, and it is a base model, and I am interested in grabbing one of the sets here and seeing what i come up with. Let me ask how much i can get them for and if the price is right ill do the swap over the weekend and let you know how it goes.

From what I found out is that I need to buy the rear springs from a 2006 SRT-8 and this will solve my problem.
