Much cheaper than a swap would be. As far as linking the rear goes. That all depends upon how much interior you want to keep. Cantaleiver and short course setups use less room in the cab. A traditional desert setup will make the rear seat area about useless. What's your budget? Do you just want to get out and have fun or are you building an instaqueen?If getting in the dirt is your main priority put a decent kit up front and deavers, shackles, and good shocks in the rear. Linking that truck while keeping four wheel drive is a little pointless.  Most kits for those trucks cycle around 14 inches or so. That is easily accomplished with leaf springs and proper setup. Good luck.</blockquote>
