its 465 dollars for joints, warn hubs and 4340 stub shafts.
and aren't there on greasable joints they got on that website stronger than the non greasable ones?

and anyone know any good deals on non neckdown 35 spline inner 60 shafts? the cheaper the better

I would get Alloy USA 35 spline outers (~$117 a side) and joints (~$30 a piece) from porc. I would get drive flanges rather than selectable hubs. 35 spine hubs are pretty weak and are probably not much stronger than the 30 spline stuff they replaced. Drive flanges are basically unbreakable.

All of what I suggested should be around $450.

When I did my 1 ton swap years back I replaced the neckdown inners with new "big" Spicer shafts, they were ~$65 each IIRC.
 
yea i was replacing my neckdown shaft, where did you get them? but if you get frive flanges isnt that a no no to drive on the street?

I got mine from a place called drivetrain industries here in Denver. They seem like a chain but I don't know if they are everywhere.

Not at all. Many OEM trucks (Jeep and Dodge in particular) have full time hubs. You can even have a mechanical locker in the front with drive flanges, as long as no power is being given to the front axle the locker will stay unlocked.

add any chevy truck with a 203 to that list too

As long as your front driveshaft angles are good. If not you will get driveshaft vibrations and you could have to replace u joints and cv joints regularly.
