Depends on your budget?
theres a lot of other factors too, like, you will lose TOD, probably need a different transfer case, possibly different steering.
Also, are you trying to go 4 link or leaf?
To give you an idea, it starts at 5k on my 4runner with a pre-made kit, leafs, and keeping the current steering and transfer case, doing all the labor myself. 7k with labor.
In order to step it up to a 4 link it runs 10-15k depending on what size axle and tires etc... Without labor. Probably closer to 15k with labor for everything for a proper 4 link. And thats on a common vehicle to do it on.
Now yes, sure there are ways to make it cheaper, but to do it 'right' thats what it takes. Im sure billy and some others will tell me im wrong but ive talked to about 5 shops about this on my vehicle.
You could probably scrap all the parts out of junkyards and e bay used for around 2k for leaf and no labor. But then youve really got a frankenstein half ***** vehicle. Your reliability is going to be little to none for a daily driver.
