You will need the later arms also if you are going to big bolt pattern brakes.Rocky

Yes the ball joints are different from SB to BB patterns.You will need upper and lower.I think DrDiff has a setup to run the small ball joints with the disc spindle.The rear you will have to measure to see if widths are the same.Rocky

The 8.25 rear is a direct bolt-in?

An A body one yes, just need the 8.25/8&3/4 (3") ubolts and the corresponding shock plates. EDIT save your original ebrake cables as you MIGHT need em for a correct fit rather than the 8.25 ones.
