Default Redoing front end

All right doing pitman arm, tie rod, all the ball joints, regearing front axle replacing front axle, and maybe new shocks.

Now my q is.

What kinds should I use? since i want to replace with better parts not stock parts
Also what do I all need for the re gear, I think its pinion gear, spider gear, and axles?

any links to helpful info appreciated and websites that carry the items.

What axle should I put in it?

Dude, you waited two hours for a response. Sometimes this place is super busy, sometimes it takes a day for someone to respond. What you're asking is pretty heavy duty stuff, so us guys who don't know how to help keep our mouths shut.

Wait for the guys who've done it all before to log on, and give them more than a couple hours to do so. Sheesh.

The gear kit and master install kit. I'm not sure if you will need anything else or not. As for brands for the other parts Moog and Spicer seem to be well liked for ball joints and stuff like that. I didn't respond earlier as I'm not 100% sure what all you will need for the gear install or whats best for the other parts. I just know what I'd go with or what brands I've heard good things about.

Chill dude. This internet stuff doesn't move at combat speed.

Should get you started on the gears. Spicer or Alloy USA are good for U-joints, I would suggest bilstein shocks. Not sure about aftermarket choices for pitman arm or tie rods but get whatever is the strongest. It is not fun to lose a tie rod going down the road.
