    Considering you'll need to buy all your shocks for either option, building your own will save you a good chunk of money if you already have the tools and resources. But if you don't know what you're doing in design, you can easily make your truck handle like shit

    Since I do this stuff in my free time and it's really just a hobby for me...cost of the kit and axles with a spare set of axles not including shocks with my jarm kit I built was about 1500$.... vs buying a solo kit with axles is what 6k$?

    My first kit the 3.5 was only like 650$ with axles and hiemed uppers...lol if you have the tools, knowledge and most importantly time to do it...its alot cheaper.

    A side note I designed and built my trailing arms for roughly 250$ lol

    I spent more than that on just the uniballs and wobble stoppers for mine, that doesn’t even include the 1.25 heims.
