Power Steering - Buying parts vs CPP Kit

[luckyss]

So, I am going to converting my truck to PS soon. I have seen the post in the FAQ about sourcing all of the parts etc, and it is supposed to be cheaper, but in pricing it out locally, I have gotten a total that is the same as the CPP kit which comes with everything...

I want to buy everything and install it in a weekend, without having to run around looking for different parts etc, so the CPP kit looks like it has its benefits to outweigh the additional costs.

Here are my questions keep in mind, I do not want junkyard parts:
1.) Have I gone wrong in pricing out all of the components, or does it actually add up to 500+ with buying everything?

2.) I searched for reviews, but couldn't find much, but how is the CPP kit? Ease of install, durability etc?

3.) I did see the bump steer issue, but even if i sourced all stock parts, wouldn't that setup have the same issue as the CPP kit that puts it all in one priced package?

4.) Are there other companies that sell a conversion kit?

Thanks in advance!
