Nice of Scotty to tell you how he bullies me. I truly believe that there is more drag to the front end than most people think. When his junk was still 2wd, he said it hauled ass.
All of these builds start with "dreamin and scheming" unless you have an unlimited bank roll (I don't) You can easily invest time to find the parts and really save cash if you can do most/ all of it yourself.
Try using this CL tool. It's great and you can search all over any state.

Will you ever recoup the investment on this mod? I doubt it. It really depends on what you get the parts for and how much you can do yourself. I got lucky since we are SAS'ing a Tacoma right now and the owner GAVE me his front end.
I found a donor on CL not too long ago, but got beat out on the parts just as I was getting ready to go get them by a guy who wanted the whole truck so they ARE out there. If you're serious about doing it, keep your eye on CL and junkyards.
I personally like this mod and will get it done as time allows. By the time I get done playing with other people's toys, it's really hard to get motivated to work on mine. I did get some 1.5" wheel spacers on yesterday though.
