I'm worried about hijacking MG's thread...
But yes, Sid did my kingpins and all. Full treatment.
I will say that after all that work, with the Posies springs, rebuilt stock steering box, Bilstein shocks and sway bar...the truck drives and handles like a dream. It's my daily driver and with every improvement it just keeps getting more dialed in and fun to drive. It steered and handled downright scary when I found it.
