Re: need advise on brakes....
I too am in the market - so I wll be watching this one.
I called them to see what spindle they run with their kits - ECE or Western was the answer.

Re: need advise on brakes....
why not check out ECE? I have had very good customer service from them, used their Front susp rebuild kit and love it.

Re: need advise on brakes....
I don't think they offer anything bigger then a 12", and no rear set up? Plus it never hurts to shop around.

You will need to change your upper ball joint to the 71-72 version. The lower ball joint is the same. The outer tie rod will have to be changed to the 71-72 version. Pretty simple if you want these brakes.

Re: need advise on brakes....
Yep, you'd need to use 71-72 ball joints. Tops obviously are a bolt-in swap, the BJ would have to be pressed out & swapped for the lowers if it's not already the same size (might be).

Re: need advise on brakes....
Keith is right, the lower ball joint is the same 71 through 87. Upper is 71-72 and 73-87 fitment.

Re: need advise on brakes....
Thats good news, I can do the uppers as they are bolt on. The tie rod shouldnt be a problem as im running a dropmember. Thanks for the knowledge guys.
