find a local offroad shop.
call them.

I'm pretty sure most of them would be willing to do a consult. Ask them how much a drop bracket for the diff and the control arms would be. There is a picture floating around here of someone with a really nicely made 2 inch drop bracket. find it print it and find a shop that can do the work. You might even go on pirate and find a shop near you. If all your going to do is mud and dunes and sand you should be good with a few drop brackets. Won't have to worry about bashing stuff up on the rocks.

Good luck and if your ever in NC let me know. I'll buy you a beer and take ya wheeling!
