It looks like MQ diffs, MQ leaves, Tough dog shocks, draglink and tierod.
This is how it looks currently
And my truck next to it, mine is 3 inch lifted

I sold a similar package a year or so ago, with Rancho shocks, but no shackles or leafs. Ended up taking $1200 from memory.
Leafs and shackles shouldn't be a real selling point (for your mate whos selling them, that is) as standard kit on an SOA should be fine.
Oh, my kit had disc brake conversion too.

I was hoping to use the leaves, putting those diffs under my leaves would raise it another 3 inches higher than his is now, a bit too high.

he was originally offering the whole chassis complete with motor, box and transfer, but I dont need it.

Given that you'll be going to SOA, which will give a straight up lift of 6" or so over standard, so the trick here is to go for a combination of leafs and shackles that will a) give you a nice ride, not too soft not too hard; b) give's enough flex without being a comlpete pig on road; c) not have a heap of lift built in to either the spring packs, or super long shackles.
Keeping the actual suspension components simple on an SOA setup is VERY important. Keeping it simple means less things to have to fine tune, cheaper spares, less variables to factor in when tweaking or trouble shooting the system.

Standard MQ diffs $100-$150ea add $50-$100ea for SOA so say $400 for both
Shackles - $50 max or you could make your own for $20
Standard Leaves - $200-$300
Custom Draglink - $300 - $400
Standard Tierod - $100
High Steer Arms - $400
Tough Dog Adjustables - condition pending - $400 - $600
total would be about 2K buying them sperately, all together $1,500
feel free anyone to tell me my pricing is out these are just guessimates
