| So I had talked with aaj but I wasn't told until today that I have to cut parts of my tie rod ends and sleeves up and grind parts of the spindle off. Are there any kits in the same price range that don't have that? I'm extremely wary of cutting up suspension components. |

Location: So. Cal | Yeah, '55-'56 is completely different from '57-up, so any information there would be useless. The '56 doesn't even have ball joints on it.
The other options are to use a Scarebird kit or a kit from Rusty Hope. AAJ also sells a kit that uses bigger 12" rotors that I *believe* doesn't require mods to your parts, *BUT* it requires using Dodge spindles so you have to swap yours out. Not fun. I haven't used any of these kits except the smaller AAJ so I can't give any other advice, but as far as I know, these are your only options apart from making up something custom for yourself. |

| yeah I called aaj earlier, but now I have to find some for a good price, Big M has some but sells the entire drum and hub and I don't need the drum too, will buy both if need be |
