Ummm yeah ??? They're a 4wd modification workshop..... 200 for the front axle, they've got the steering box right there already, tie rod/drag link wouldn't cost $hit, shocks $200 for NEW ones, cheaper for second handies, shock mounts out of scrap/cheap as chips plate/pipe, and 100 to get the shaft lengthened or they could make up a spacer for f&%k all. Some rear springs might set them back 50 bucks or whatever.

i don't see the problem !!
