ya its gunna be hydro assist. im looking around at hysteer kits and there around $300-$350. then i found complete-offroads kit for $230. i noticed parts mike has 1 ton TRE's for $30 a peice. i just called a local steel place that i get metal from and 7ft of 1 1/2 OD 1/4 wall is $78. so i think i could do it significantly cheaper (little over half the cost) just piecing it. im thinking about cranes high steer arms... oh and as far as the previous owner. he wheels and just picked up my old front end off me yesterday.
I would recommend using OEM 80 tie rod ends...they are stamped Japan 555...You can get them from Marlin, All pro or the toy dealer. Beware some of the "other companies" cheaper kits...they use "CHINA" stamped ends and look like toothpicks next to the OEMs
