Any idea what individual components price out at? You might save some on shipping over getting components from different companies.

It will be cheaper to buy directly from rc at 1450 minus 150 bucks for the cherokeeforum discount they give which i think is 10 percent. Then get a sye and shaft separate. I got a custom shaft and sye combo for like 350 bucks on ebay. Heck looking back I kind of wish I just used a front xj shaft in the rear they are pretty dang strong probably close to a custom shaft strength.

Also something to note. I have personally had rough country uca's with their x joints for less than a year and had to rebuild them 4 times already and don't wheel it super hard. Granted my experience is not the norm but I am just saying you usually get what you pay for so it might be worth going for something a little higher quality if you wheel it much.
