do you have a track bar in that shopping cart?

 

This. Lol. Check around for package deals.

 

Nope... lol. I removed the track bar, with the SYE, and rear diff just to get a good ballpark on the lift alone. There's also a steering kit in there, and some new wheels.

Regardless... Compared to other shoppers "piecing together" their lifts, this seems a bit steep when compared to everyone else. I think the shocks are killing me, though I'm unwilling to settle for less. Just like I'm unwilling to settle for a t-case drop :|

 

yeah you gotta go through serious offroad and various other vendors and buy some used parts to get good deals
and look there's even a whole thread on track bars for you lol. it's pretty important to have one

Everything I've priced thus far is through SOR. I know about the Track Bars, I think they have them the most cost effective... At least Price/Performance wise. Though I'm not familiar with all the brands yet, so I could be wrong.

What I need to find is one thread with a bunch of build compilations, just to get an idea of how people are doing this so cheaply.

 

craigslist and patience is how I put mine together. found my completely adjustable RE 4.5" full pack for $400 new
ball joint rebuild $30
SYE $200
just need some bilsteins and I'll be in it about $1000
of course I added boomerangs, shackle relo, 8.8 simple swap, steering junk, and plenty of other goodies. but you can do it for cheap too if you have patience

 

Trust me... I've been checking CL. I don't live in Cali though. Hard to find decent used parts here. Nothing survives in New Hampshire... Nothing.

lol

 

it's taken me 6 months and I still dont have shocks or drivelines. but there probably are more rust-free parts around here
