Also doesn't hurt that the spindles and so on I've always had laying around on parts car. Buying a kit makes it much easier but it will cost more. 68 Road Runner, 69 Belvedere, 71 Challenger Vert 340 barracuda, 01 Ram CTD, 95 Ram, 04 Ram, 85 Daytona turbo Z 66 GTO, 06 Magnum RT AWD. 07 Ram CTD, 07 Ram

Parts are sourced from any junkyard except the brackets,which I have a drawing for.
