So, do you have an estimate that it cost you for the long arms.

Matt i would say

130 for 24 feet of 2x2x.250 wall square tubing

i already had the joints but they run $35 each so 7 of them.

Re sleeve bushings.  6 of them for $8 each.

Already had 6 stock lower control arm bushings so free.

My and a friend made all the brackets for $80.  Can all be bought for under 200 easily.

So it can be done under $500 if you can come up with a design yourself it is easy.  I just studied everyone's suspension and went from there.

I can get you that 2 x 2 x 1/4 x 24 for $110.

If you can use 3/16 I can get it for $85.

Also I can cut it to length for you, just give me sizes.  I can do that free of charge.  ;)

Give me a a couple days notice and I can have it ready.  Anything under 10' I'll put in the back of my truck.  Just would need to know where to meet you after that.
