You have the initial purchase cost then,unless you're doing the install yourself you have the added labor costs.
Ideally you want to remove the front clip,engine and trans.
It just makes access much easier.
You then have to consider your steering hook-up (More $$$)
If you are just wanting to improve the brakes I would go with the cheaper option.
The brakes dont care if its a beam axle or IFS.....
It's what you want that matters.
