The engineering time to get it right and materials are most of that.
Built with my best idea parts is 900 just for joints and plate/tube
I just used a Chevy hd idler and various junkyard parts for a poorboy swingset for one of my many test runs looking for toe control... with ok results with my ttb.
ended up with a e series long side and inverted explorer longside with 5.5 lift and for the most part it was best for control.....basically 5 dollars worth of junkyard parts. There is a quirk in certain situations which I found acceptable. For ideal it needs a slight bend added ..
on a stock ride height situation I am not sure it would work or even be needed.
