You will need I beam and radius arm pivot bushings. I use teflon bushings for the King-Pins (no reamer needed). The meanest, most painful and frustrating part about this deal is getting the old King-pins out. Do yourself a favor and take the I Beams to a press. Reassemble the I Beams and spindles on the bench, then put them back in the truck. You will need a deep well socket 1 1/8th (I think) to get the springs out. The rest is easy. Use a good floor jack and Jack stands.
