You don't need to build "fake" cylinders. Surplus Center lists all the dimensions for each cyl they sell. You'll find that the hydraulics is by far the most expensive part of the project, excepting your time of course. Hoses, quick connects, adapters, fittings, joystick, and in your case a pump. Just off the top of my head I'd say $700 for decent hydraulics.
I have a pump system i want for $375but i could Jew them down some maybe.

Allot of the hoses are with that so I'm thinking $100-150for hoses. But this is why i posted this looking for cylinders for pricing things out.
