Well I would of had to source parts from 2 companys. DOM and tubing adapters from ballistic fab, at $20 bux a foot for the tubing and 15 bux a pc for spacers. Then I needed 2in johnny joints which I woulda had to get from Rustys. He wants close to 40 a joint. so I was right around 140 ish with shipping. I paid $170 for the arms already built. In the long run I it def woulda been cheaper, but I just went that route.

lol, ya the rust sucks, but it wont be too bad to fix. I planned on replacing the factory rockers on my next project even before I picked up this jeep, so I wasnt disapointed when I saw the factory rockers rotted away.
