 Shop around, you have a lot of vendors to choose from. All but a couple of them are weld on, so you have to have a welder handy. Calmini I believe, is the only bolt on SPOA. You have Trailtough, Petroworks, Rocky Road Outfitters, Northcoast Offroad, Breeze Industries, Roadless Gear, Spidertrax, and many others to choose from. Just look, you will find what you want.

http://members.cox.net/aftermarket4x4/Can get the most basic to deluxe kit here. Just a hint, get at least a Z-link for steering correction.  the drag link hits the right front spring and bends it during suspension cycle, rendering steering useless on the trail. Seen it a couple times, no fun!

I have the Rocky Road weld on SPOA kit and it's been great!!  I put mine on about a year and a half ago.  Definitely go with the OTT steering.  I did the stage one and I have NO bumpsteer and the truck drives fine.  I'm running on 32 x 11.5's and I only rub at full lock under full suspension compression in the front.  You will have to either cut or replace the front bumper to get the tires in without scraping.

I picked up a set of spring pads from Hawk Suzuki and fixed things up over a weekend with the help of a qualified welder.  He didn't even bother with buying new pads, just cut the existing ones off with a grinder and re-attached on the other side when he went SOA on his Sammy.

Hey TomKat, have you or anyone you know ever bought parts from this site? If so how is the quality and service?

Do the parts show up quick? ....I hate waiting, at my age I can't afford to wait  ;D

I haven't personally, but a good friend of mine has and knows several others who had a great  experience with Sean, he is a good guy. Give him a shot.
