I have decided to go with a dm on my 68. my question is if i use 73-87 lca and my 68 uca, which nate said i can do, do i just put a 68 ball joint in the 73-87 lca? this set up will be just until i afford his tubular ones. and how are tall routing your brake, fuel, and trans lines? pics if you got em. i also what do i do about the the steering shaft? i seen a few home made brackets, but does the kit come come with one? also how would i go about lowering the body 1"?

Use whichever year lower balljoint your spindles are for.

This might get a better response in the "suspension section".
I'll see if I can get it moved,... if you don't mind.

When you order your DM, check w/Nate on the body drop. He should have a 'kit' that has everything you need.

Check out some of the "build" pics on Nate's website.
