6" lift parts.
I just bought 6" leaf springs and coil springs from a guy for $100 and I'm hoping to find out what else I need to buy to complete the kit so I can bolt it all up. I know it's gunna be hard to piece everything together but I'm hoping I got the springs cheap enough to make it with while.

Shocks, adjustable trac bar, probably slip yoke eliminator, brake lines, upper and lower control arms, probably a few other parts I am forgetting.

Exactly. Once over 4.5" you really should go long arms, over the knuckle steering, and over the axle track bar. If you want help piecing together a complete kit let me know. I can give you a list of everything you need to buy, no mark up on parts we dont make in house.

Long arm conversion can be over 1000 its self, SYE is like 200-300, and OTK will be about another 2-3 hundred. So that, plus brake lines, a new rear shaft and whatever I'm forgetting, could be up over 2000..
Just did some "shopping" and came up with 3000 bucks.. Good luck.

Idk from experience. So my #'s are just from hitting websites and putting stuff into the cart.. All I know is its not exactly cheap to go long arm and OTK..

His AA kit is listed at $160 on the page he linked to.
Ebay has them for $160ish, Rugged ridge brand.
Most folks on this site end up with radius arms for less than $1000.
OP already has the rear springs per the first post...
Front chevy 1500 lines are like $30.
I guess it all depends on what parts you go with. I still say $2000-2500 is high for the OP already having coil springs and leaf springs.

Where did I say I pay 200-300 for an SYE? We sell Rugged Ridge's SYE kit for 170 also...
You just said that 2500 for a COMPLETE 6.5" kit with long arms, crossover steering, over the axle trackbar, and SYE is "waaay high". Please explain your throughts. That was a price including coils and leaf springs.
We could build a kit for the OP minus the coils and leaf springs. No problem custom piecing together kits. We have done it for quite a few customers.
