high-pinion = 1750
longfields = 630
hysteer = 380
bearing and knucle rebuild kit = 120
arp hub studs = 69
actualy more then 2500. Yes it is possible to do cheaper, but i dont see the point when u can buy a hgh pinion d60 for a grand which is way stronger then a 8" anyhow.
as for rear axle
1700 on a floater kit
1150 on a diff
over 2500 right there.
I didnt break anything on the rear, but i chipped ring gear teeth that ZUK setup on the front, blew a 30 spline longfield and have totaly f-ed up my spindles. Blown hubs. They are just such a fn pita to deal with and way to much money for what you get.

Your prices are WAY inflated.
Please describe HOW you broke those parts, please.
Those prices are about right. At least on the front end stuff. Remember, he had the 30 spline longs which are a lot more expensive than the old school stuff.
I'm not sure what kind of locker he had, but trust me, a custom high pinion lockered up diff can easily cost $1800, because that's about what I have in my ARB high pinion, which was all brand new, including the diff casing, gears and that included a better than normal price on the ARB locker.
The high steer price is a lot less than I paid, but I guess prices have come down since I did my SAS back in '02.
As for the Dana 60, I don't know what prices run, but I'm sure that's a better option if you're breaking the best the 8" and 44 have to offer. I can't imagine that a narrowed 60 with the proper gears and lockered up would be cheap, though. And then you'd probably want one in the rear to match gear ratios, strength and wheel bolt pattern, etc.
