About $200 hard, and some postage. PM Just Cruisin'
The worst part if you are doing it yourself will be tackling the body studs, you either need female bolts or you will be cutting the studs off and trying to fit some kind of bolt in.
I fitted one of Just Cruisin's kits last year and it took maybe 3 hours (with no instructions). It is really basic to fit and not really worth the pain of trying to make something yourself.

I have made 2 home made bodylifts for sierras
the 1st one was on my 1 litre hardtop, for that I got 4" wide boat rollers and cut them in half
for the ones where the botls go right through I found some pipe the right size to use as crush tubes
for the ones where the stud pokes out I had some bar machined with a thread inside it so it screwed onto the stud and the roller slipped over it and a bolt went in underneath
it worked but I have doubts now as to how long it would of lasted
my 2nd one was on my soft top and it was a the so called 50mm RHS method, bolt some RHS to the body and another bolt through the chassis side, not legal, probably dodgy but nothing ever moved or sagged over a few years
but just cruizin wasnt around then, now I would jsut buy one of his kits, cheaper and easier

I'm a guy, instructions and directions are only for when everything else fails.
