Where are you located? What will you be using the truck for, and do you want to go all out and go 1 tons? I'd be willing to rake this on if your not too far away...

You dont fall into that category, as a D30 is technically 'weaker' than a D35

Jokes aside, its amazing how quick things add up. Even for my hybrid TTB, Ive got 450$ in JUST ball joints and wheel bearings...

He said he's in that much without a shop so not close at all. You can probably add a grand or two easily.

X2. I probably got over $100 just in grade 8 hardware. Dont forget consumables like cut off wheels, welding wire/ rod, gas, etc. New hoses, bushings and fluids. Axle rebuild kits while you got them out is not a bad investment. It does add up real quick.
