Re: have some play in front end....

thanks as always for reply.
well, my plan is to buy, upper and lower ball joints, tie rods, idler and pitman arm.
hopefully that will be a good overhall of the front end parts.
then when those parts go in, so will lowering spindles, shock, springs, flip kit, notch and shackles.
id like to attempt the job, but not sure about certain parts, so ill probly pay someone for the install,to not worry when parts are on.
hate to have an accident due to my lack of knowledge.

any other parts i should replace?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
