To drop it with a solid axle you're looking at $350 for the axle, $450 for mono leafs,$80 for shackles, $150 for new style tie rod and ends, $125 for shocks, $120 for king pins, and then it's $750 for a power disc brake kit. You're sitting right around the $2000 mark. I'm not trying to turn you away from it, I went the exact same route to keep the truck nostalgic. Jus showing others that its not much cheaper than going the IFS route. I'm looking forward to your build thread
