Re: 3/4 ton to 1/2 ton supension?

The ball joint diameter where it presses into the lower A arm is larger. So you cant put a 1/2 balljoint in 3/4 A arm we tried. You can also reem the 1/2 ton spindle to the 3/4 ton ball joint.

That's the cool thing about ECE's "conversion" spindles.
No need to change your 3/4 ton ball joints.
The spindle works with the 3/4 ton balljoints and tie rod ends,... and uses a 1/2 ton rotor and caliper.
