well, to start you will need a ram, brackets, hoses,and a drilled/tapped steering box...and might have to upgrade steering pump. I have a hydro box, but dont think it would work for you...its off a 87' bronco(probably different style)

You can build one better and cheaper by yourself. Off the shelf parts and tubing from any steel supplier. PM and I'll give you all the info you need to save hundreds of $$.

The green box on Westtexasoffroad.com is mine. You can look at it all you want but the pics on his site won't show the tap points. Thats where he makes his money. Knowing where to tap. You can look at my steering box and try yourself if you want. I can very much help with the tie rods/drag link/panhard bar. Those are easy.
