SYE w/ RE 4.5" coils and 4.5" leaf packs....I threw the front shaft on, but its pretty much maxed out just sitting as it. And I guess when I say cheap, I mean hopefully below $200 vs. $294 + shipping.

X2. That's what I am running. My front and rear lengths are within and inch of each other. I can have 1 spare that will work on either end if needed. You can usually get a front shaft out of a yard pretty chep, then retube it. I did 2 front shafts and it cost me a little less than $400 at Driveline USA (Lake Forest).

Good luck!
