If you want to go cheap on the parts you can buy this stuff from your local
or near local junkyard from a 4.7L CC or RC Dakota. I have seen already
many 2000 models that sport the rear and front bars, heavy duty coils etc.
Another source is the web is the www.copartfinder.com .
If not I would Piece it together if the money is tight. Start with the sway
bars first then shocks and leafs.
