I sent him a email and they said no to marlins flanges. When I called to order the 30 spline super set I asked again and before the lady I was talking to could get the question out of her mouth to her co workers yelled out NO!
Don't bother I get them on loan from work! What size did ya get? are you gonna install them yourself? Did ya get a reamer bit so the dowl pins would be a tight fit in the hub? I have a plan for building a jig to install my own extra dowl pins, but I gotta make a jig to get every thing right. I also need a reamer bit to get a good tight fit for the pins.
The reamer is just a slight under size so that the pins won't fall out. If you drill your holes the same size as the dowlspins they (the pins) would never stay in the hub. You have to drill out to a smaller size then use the reamer bit so that the dowl pins are a good snug fit. It would be more than worth while to buy the bit. One of the local machine shop may have a bit that you could loan or they might be willing to ream the holes for you. You could have the dowl pins press fit into the flanges so that you don't have to take the whole hub to the shop. I talked to a local machinist and after being blown away by the price he quoted me to do the job, I'm still unshure about what to do. 1 pay the local guy 2 send them to hendrix 3 try myself and take a chance Just to be safe Cole , try drilling a whole into a couple scrap pices of steel, then see if the dowl pins are a drive in fit. If they are then I was misinformed.
I wonder how bad I would get flamed on pirate for asking what others on that board have done.

Here is a pic of the new upper mounts. I flexed the truck a little with the jack.
Why are all my pics offset to one side?
Are not angry that your new parts are all F'd up? I would not settle for "a little file work." You paid top dollar for those parts and shouldn't have to fix brand new stuff.
u missed this pic they look fine to me...maybe the format on your puter
I fixed the pic. Can ya see the cv end of the driveshaft?
