Im going to be widening my new link pin front end and I was wondering if I could use the leafs out of my BJ beam for one of the sides. Anybody know if they're the same?

no they are different, I think a L/P has 5 leaves that form a square pac and a B/J has 9 or 11 leaves. they are not interchangable that I know of.

You do realize the beam won't be a bolt-in swap? The distance between the tubes is different.

I already did the link pin frame head swap and the cage is getting sent up front for more sapport as we speak.

Ok, just wanted to make sure. Earthquake's right. The torsions are different. Look at pics of the weld in adjusters and you'll see the center hole is shaped different.
