That's about as long as mine took to get to me. I've had it for a while now, maybe I'll install it one of these days. Luckily I got it before CP raised the price by $100.

Yes, the entire subframe gets transferred. You also get FC front suspension. Get a 4 bolt FC front end and GSL-SE rear axle for matching bolt patterns.

I dunno what Fab work is involved though.
