not going to happen unless you use junkyard parts or find a good deal on craigslist or ebay. this is the closest kit you'll get in the retail world; http://www.rustysoffroad.com/rustys-...-pack-kit.html

I bought my rough country 3 inch lift off eBay for only 250 bucks

Just four shocks, two front coils and two rear add a leaf, that's all, plus free shipping if I re all correctly.

I suggest piecing one together from various brands. Get springs from one place, get zone or bds shocks (they're like 30 a piece or something like that), then leaf springs.

Coils will probably run you about 100

Shocks about 120-150

Leaf packs.. I'm not sure because I haven't priced them lately.

Or get the leaf springs and coils used, but i would get the shocks new.
