Not sure on the shocks - I'd assume the 4x4 uses different shocks to the front wheel drive models. You might be able to get them cheaper from TPS or a motor factors.

 

As for the rear box - I think your options are as follows:

1. Weld up original

2. Find a used one

3. Pattern part

4. Stainless/custom
