Check with any of the BB vendors.Most carry kits that are reasonably priced.The kit I got came from Tim Christian and all I needed other than the kit was new bolts for the rear springs.You will need front spindles and springs and rear springs or springs and blocks.If they haven't been changed yet you may need to do ball joints and tie rod ends.Your stock wheels will not fit over the disc brakes.You also will probably want to upgrade to power brakes.
