Building your own or Not...

So i purchased a bronco for my track bike puller. After seeing lifted broncos i wanted to do SAS and crawl some rocks.
Aftter realising this would not be a much fun as playing in the desert i was turned onto Bronco Speed and GFB.

I've have a budget about 1300 for parts as i was going to install everything myself. Looking at the time consuming
process of doing all of this ive decide to have a shop install my products. I have not decided on a shop yet considering
if i have any problems i will be able to take it to them since they are into the game.

Goal- Truck that handles great without breaking the Bank

I was told Bilstein 5100 will work great in my stock setup, being on a budget i want a reservoir shock and keep stock components
Will I still have to modify to fit a fox shock.

Coil- Was told deaver 5.5, but also said it would be a little high camber/caster will be off.. (skyjacker,superlift,etc will give it true 4'" Lift)

Rear Springs- Deaver f53's.. I know its supjective but i was told they were not good as i should go with national or another brand.

I' would like to do this myself but this is a whole new bag of worms without a garage of my own and endless tools. I'd much rather have a shop do it correctly

What are going rate to have parts installed at a shop that i bring in?
Am i better off having everything ordered through the shop?

$1300 is a little on low side for a budget. If you do everything yourself and source used parts you might be able to pull off a 4" suspension system.

I have less than $1300 into my suspension. About $900, and it works great. http://www.gofastbroncos.com/forum/view ... =33&t=1421

However... If i had the garage space i would do it myself...
I have ADD

Hell it took me about 3 days to install the full exhaust on my superbike

I can't decide if i wan to do spend a little more doing coilovers or just using coil springs.
I may be happier with coils so i won't have to upgrade later if i decide to
