Well since I typed that, I let a buddies GF drive my junk and she cracked my front housing in half
But front axles are easy to find.
If your serious, you need to start going down the shopping list.
Front Axle complete $150
Crossover Hysteer $400
Spring Hanger and Shackles $230
You need springs which can run you anywhere from free to $300. They're free if you make a hybrid pack out of your exisiting rears.
If you're 5.29 in the rear, you need to regear the front so your looking at $140 for the gears plus $80 for the install kit. I can have my gear guy hook you up on the install.
Front Shaft for ~$150
And if you lift the front, you'll probably need to lift the rear. Anywhere from $100-$350.
You are looking in the range of $1500 for parts. If you that doesn't scare you away, drop me a line because labor would be a fraction of the cost of parts.
