I think the cheapest kit is the Beanie Boy kit.

When I setup my rail for 3x3 arms I looked closely at the BB kit and decided against it. I was able to source the parts individually and get it at a cheaper price than the BB kit, and that included shipping from multiple vendors, locations. Good luck.

from my exp cheap vs. quality (and I am not talking Tatum's thou$and dollar stuff, which btw is manuf in china if most don't know) is you end up spending more time in the shop doing R&D than on the trail having fun...although the shop is fun, I would rather have the kids running around the camp fire vs. "honey, can you...." in the middle of a weld, lol....

Unless your building a street queen you don't what to skimp on trailing arm quality. There are way to many posts here about cheap ones that have the wrong camber/toe and other problems. While not a "kit" I bought all the parts for mine from Jack Woods at Woods Wheel Works in Phoenix for my 3x3s and 10x1s. I followed his directions exactly and both turned out perfect. They are overbuilt to take miles of off road racing abuse.

Appletree has a couple of sets that have axles and CV's as well.

I just found out he finally totally retired. I was told he sold all the jigs to Fodrills.

Jack woods retired, and sold his jigs. that means foddrill is the only building race arms and there expensive.

looks like it time to invest in some bcr trailing arms

Jack Woods were not cheap either. Like I said this is not a place for a weak part. His were over built and welded on massive jigs that did not flex. That why they did not have camber issues.

This is the same WOODS that make the front arms to right if so there $350 cheaper than foddrills.and thats a big savings for quality part.
