looking for "cheap" is the wrong outlook when going long arms IMO. I hate the joints on my kit. so add 200$ to the RC kit if you want it to be an ok setup. Or you can put it off until I build mine and I'll sell you my RC long arms/crossmember with new rc joints for 250$ complete lol

yeah its pretty simple really, However I would stay with there 3 link kit over the radius setup.

I'm into my 3 link about 350 with joints, bungs, and steel. What tristin said, if your gonna build it then build it right. Don't skimp on joints or arm material. I wouldn't do anything other then a true 3-link. Id give ya the dimensions and geometry of mine but I pushed my front end forward about 4-5" which I'm assuming you aren't planning on doing.
