ok... i read the thread on putting 88+ spindles and brakes on a pre 72... amazed it worked like it did...

i dont need the power brake conversion... already have those. I do however would like to use a set up 88+ lift spindles.. I plan on swapping to a 3/4 ton rear end, and using a 6 lug front. my question is, will the lower ball joints bolt up to my stock lower control arm or like the pre 72s will i have to go with a 3/4ton arm? will an 81-87 3/4ton lower control arm work? will the upper ball joints fit the stock upper arm?
