which way are you looking to convert? what wheels do you plan on using? this will play factors in price. Best way is to junkyard the parts

I pieced together my swap and it cost me about $900, maybe a little more. I already had new tires so that cost doesnt include them.
I went with '94 v6 spindles and Ranger axles and drums and '03 v6 wheels.

alot of wheels won't fit those conversion packages. another thing to consider is those kits won't really improve braking either. doing the SN95 junkyard conversion gives you better brakes, upgraded spindles and a wider wheel selection.

here's a breakdown of the parts i gathered to do mine...
front:
SN95 spindles with hubs - 80$ from junkyard
SN95 rotors and calipers - 100$ from a buddy that was upgrading to cobra brakes
maximum motorsports SS brake line adapters - 80$ from their site

rear:
ranger axles - 100$ from junkyard
ranger drums - 50$ from junkyard
diff fluid - 20$ from FRPP

so the total was a tad over 400$

it's also a good idea to rebuild your t-lok and change the axle seals for good measure, although it's not necessary if you're on a really tight budget, but you might end up having to do it eventually anyways... so IMO save yourself the trouble and do it all at the same time.

the t-lok rebuild kit was 50$ from FRPP
and the seals were 25$ each.
