I am doing the tall spindle swap. You need either the Global West or Hotchkiss arms. I am not familiar with retrofitting an offset shaft to the existing arms. You will also need a cut down ball joint to marry your lower arm to the new tall spindle. Also, I discovered (yesterday) that the adjustable HAL shocks will not slide thru the bottom of the A-arm without some minor clearancing. There wont be room for the plate nuts, so I have to weld the nuts to the A-arms. Remember the old saying...."bolt ons dont". There are several gotchas with this swap, but (Im told) the handling improvement is well worth it. I guess time will tell.
