Swap from 3/4 to 1/2 Ton Spindle?
Do u Have to Change out the a-arm's for this swap or can you just swap out Ball Joint's?
I know that the 3/4 & 1 Ton use the Same Ball Joint's, Just Not Sure if the A Arm's are Different or Not? Thanks, Rick

Re: Swap from 3/4 to 1/2 Ton Spindle?
The upper joint can be swapped out but the lower control arm will have to be swapped out since the LBJ is pressed into it and the outer diameters are different between the 1/2 ton and the 3/4 -1 ton ones (smaller diameter)

ECE also makes a "conversion" drop spindle that uses stock ball joints and accepts 1/2 ton brake components.
