    It's easier to piece one together with parts from ruff stuff, Barnes, and other vendors. That way you can get the individual parts you want, springs and shocks for example, and aren't paying for parts you possibly don't need (new brake lines if you already have extended ones for example). Looking at the parts list by trail gear, I did my SAS for right around half that and I have a 9.5" diff up front. The easiest way to save money is to look for used or new in box items people are selling. Example I got an entire Marlin hi steer setup for around $200bucks used off a guy on ih8mud. I tossed some new TREs on it and it was good to go.
    It's an insane ammount of custom work. Are you looking to do this yourself or drop a box of parts off at a shop and tell them to have it?

    Don't be fooled, kit in no way means it's easy and you will probably still need to buy other parts along the way.

    You can buy the front spring/shackle hangers and steering box mount from Sky's for about $300.
