If your going cromo axles/cvs the u need cromo hub gears
Your gonna need as a minimum arp hub studs
Bracing is preferred, just buy the brace kits from Locktup or the like and weld it on

There is lots of info about bracing, google it and make sure u weld it on properly, best to get housing checked for straightness first.

To run treps your gonna need big offset rims/ wheel spacers and or ifs hub spacers kit..

If ya not going 6 shooters, I'd do a 5th stud or weld in plates to pick up on the steering stops. The way high steer is, it wants to keep pulling up on the studs. I had my arms welded onto the knuckle and still they ripped off. Also if you know someone that is good at machining, you can go bigger Kinpin bearings. Go from a 17mm bore (Pin) to a 25mm same as Marlin's setup.

If they are Trail gear arms, the pin presses out and get new cromolly pins made to suit.
