Re: 3/4 chassis or 1/2 better for lowering??

There are many ways to skin this cat. Buying used parts, what are you going to keep or replace. If you are keeping the doner's rotors, caliper, bearings, ball joints, etc. and just swapping spindles, springs and shocks, then it might be cheaper/easier to get a complete front disc front end and buy your few parts. If you are going to replace all these other parts with new one, as the used ones could be worn out, what parts are you actually using then?

Used parts are so hard to know if they are good until you start taking them apart. What seems like a deal ends up costing more than a complete swap kit. Trust me, I have been down that road before.

Do a bunch of research before jumping into something.
