So far I have about 2000 into in but I still need more parts. I am trying to avoid going the uber cheap route. I am going with top end parts but looking for deals.
I bought an axle for 1000 bucks but the dude selling it has zero miles on it fully built it with a locker, chromo shafts, 5.13s already in it, new seals, balljoints etc. That right there would cost me 2k just to build myself. He was selling his rig and never installed the axle before he sold the rig. That saved me a ton of money.
Then all my rod ends, tubing, Johnny joints, shock brackets, axle and frame mount brackets were in the shopping cart on ruffstuff but I waited to order all of them on the ruff stuff 20% off fathers day sale. That saved a good amount of money too.
I plan to do ram assist but will probably go with the redneck ram vs. the PSC setup.
I think it can be done with quality parts at a reasonable cost if your patient, wait for the deals and put in some elbow grease.
