I just added the cost through summit and seems to be about $415 without shipping. I don't know what the op paid though.

I don't think that is a bad price for all those parts.

All the parts except the bearings & seals came from Summit,bearings & seals I got at my local Carquest.I dont remember the total cost off hand,but,I will see if I can find the receipts a little later on.

I just dug out my receipts,and at the time this upgrade cost approximately $ 600.00.This included new wheel bearings & seals.All parts used were brand new.This was with s & h to Nova Scotia Canada.
