Kingpin d60

I'm about to get a late model ford kingpin-lockout to lockout tie rod and drive shaft(i think) for $800. I know the older models had different spring centers so I got a mount kit that has the u bolts and weld on perches. My question is (1) are the lugs 8x6.5? and (2) how does the steering linkage work on these? Off the passenger side tire for the drag link? and the truck is lifted 4" so will my drop pitman work?

Thanks guys for any input

Yeah, what he said.

"Late model" and "King Pin" don't go together...

And all the spring centers were the same from the '70's through the Super Duty's...

I thought spring centers were different in the 70's... What's the earliest year axle that will bolt under our trucks?
