I've been trying to figure out what ball joints work with that spindle. The ones Coleman calls out are different than what I have. It looks like I should be fine with my lower ball joints becuase they have the same taper but I'll need to replace the uppers. I was most concerned about the lowers.

I'm doing what you're gonna do for hubs. I got mine off a '85 Caprice which is considered full size but I'm not sure if they'll work with the Coleman spindle. Any idea? The only other major consideration would be the steering arm and outer tie rod clearing my wheels. With a 2.5" pin drop, it doesn't look good.
