wow everything you asked can be easily found with just a little research. want cheap get a used kit. or go to the junkyard and get some taller springs for the front out of a pick up truck then some s-10 leafs to make a basturd pack. but really get to reading on here and you will be amazed at the wealth of information you can gain. not trying to be a d*ck but its the answer your going to get from others to thats if you get an answer.
