Granted I replaced a lot of while-you're-in-there stuff like Guibo/CSB/fluids/subframe bushings/diff seals/misc hardware...I'm sure I spent close to that in parts alone. Plus some money for labor for alignment and bushing pressing/diff seal replacement - it added up quickly.
Not to mention you're removing everything from the driveshaft back, including the fuel tank if you're welding. MAYBE with the right tools (trans jack, whatever) you can just lower the rear subframe instead of removing it...
