Well kids Ive decided to completely change everything on my front, sticking with the early 5 lug drums what would Yall get?
Im looking for a complete bolt in package. I will be going off road, of course, but nothing to extreme (though Im not opposed to it)
Ive seen a ton of stuff out there but I have yet to see a complete, ready to bolt on front end. Anything like that out there?
I was leaning towards this

A really rusted out ball joint. This is basically what I have now

Got any pics? Plenty of bolt on kits out there. Plenty from China, a few from USA. If you shop around you can buy the parts that you like for about the same as a kit. |

Read this, read all of it. But long story short, you can't. A direct replacement would be a Thing beam. Or modify the front of your rail to accept the different sized beam. |

Question, since all I have mounting wise is the front end supports and not the center support couldnt I just reweld the supports in any place I need for different beams? |

Yup, sure can. You would just need to move the top mounts down a bit. The beam spacing on link pins is 120mm if I remember correctly. Just make sure you get the beam angled back about the same as it currently is. Measure the angle relative to vertical. It should be somewhere around 7 degrees...10 at the most. |
