Default Recommendations Please

I need to rebuild my front end. I was looking at this kit from CJ, http://www.cjponyparts.com/starter-s...1967/p/SUSK44/.

I do not have the money to go tubular, or anything fancy!

Is there a better "kit" than this, or should I just replace the bushings?

I have never tackled a front end or done bushings before.

Thanks for the advice.

Its killing me, I cant drive it until I do this.

Do you have personal experience with these? Looks good though.

Wow! What a great read. Thank you for sharing that.

My goal is to get my car drive able. For a few hundred dollars and a stocker rebuild I can achieve my goal.

After a few years (and more savings) I will probably decide to replace the suspension with a newer style setup!

I am not sure of the end goal. The appropriate shelby drop with roller perches, "620" springs, a 1" sway and solid strut rods is enough to satisfy most. It is a huge difference over the stock setup.

All I want to do is replace the stock suspension components. All of my bushings are shot to hell.
