im only swapping tierods, hubs,brake pads and shocks and a new tranny pan and filter.
think overall for all above i have spent about $500 without the shocks.. going to go the the Rancho adj ones.
i would like to do both upper and lower C. arms, but thats another $1k. soooo ya

The rareparts tierods are about $360-$380 and the Rancho 9000Xl are adjustable and ride so nice. You should give Tim at Expedition hardware a call (303) 766-3239 and see what he can work out with you he has some killer deals...

As far as hubs and upper control arms and balljoints and cv shafts I bought ACDelcos on Rockauto they got pretty good prices. actually the cv shafts and lower balljoints werent AC delco but whatever.
With parts, labor, oil change and alignment I think I spent $1800-$2000 but i had a few misc. things done also like rear trailing arms and bushings on my aft braces for my lift, plus they had to drill through my new UCA for the dual shock mounts, but if you are doing tierods you need the alignment and to do the alignment they need to loosen the upper control arm anyway. If it is going to be apart I would suggest doing all at once. You can get a set of lower ball joints from rock or ebay for about $50 and UCA for about $100 each. So about $250-$300 in extra parts and probally the same for labor depending on the shop.
