05 coil spring front end install

Does anyone know where I can find a detailed write up on this swap for my 02? Unfortunately I just put all new ball joints, axle u-joints, ball joints, tie rod, and drag link on my front end. Are any of the steering parts useable for this swap? I currently have a 8" lift installed so I will keep the current steering box abd pitman arm. I have a 4 link of unknown make that was removed from an 05 that was smashed in the front. Everything looks good except two of the control arms are bent. There is a different bracket on the front axle for the control arms to mount to. The control arms are grey and not adjustable and have poly uerethane bushings on both ends. It also has dual shocks mounted to hoops with remote resevoirs again no hint of make here either. Any idea what make this kit could be? I would like to be able to order the two control arms or possibly make new adjustable arms.

Can't help you with this one. I've never heard of it being done. I know the new trucks turn sharper then ours so not so sure your steering box is up to it. Let us know what you end up doing and how it works.
