[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 334329, member: 1384"] -All my tabs came from DIY4x - Generic tabs saves a ton of time. (cheap) -I used a Harbor Freight unibit to enlarge the hole in the tabs (cheap) -Short links won't bend, so no crazy big/thick tube is needed (cheap) - 3/4" rod ends are cheap and hold up fine on a Toyota (IMO) - My upper link "tower" is a drop of 2x2x.25" square tube, it'll get gusseted/trussed up -Frame side upper link bracket is basically free and will work fine. (Compared to what 1 of the laser cut "fancy" brackets from Barnes/Ruffstuff/Artec, I'll have less $ in all my brackets/tabs combined) -I'm going to try to do a cheap ass full hydro setup with all new parts, BUT, it'll still be $7-800... Because that's the cheapest you can do it (for all parts)... The Trail-Gear full hydro kit from one of the vendors is definitely the way to go if you don't already have parts laying around... Break down: I can do the TC pump, pulley, belt for ~$100-125, stock reservoir is fine, stock feed hose (or some I've got laying around) The pump fits in the stock bracket, it just needs the back side cut off and a new piece welded in. New hoses, adapters, and fittings are about $100 (maybe a bit less) Ram is $200 (Surplus center) Orbital is $250 (Tri State Hydraulics) Figure $100 for 3/4 rod ends and tube (already have) $50 for a cooler, or whatever you can get a junkyard one for (already have) Misc hardware is ~$20 So that adds up to $800....
