doing mine at the moment,
standard u bolts can be used if you oxy off the front spring mounts and invert them. You shouldnt reuse u bolts as they stretch each time.
You will need a high steer arm for pas. side. Off road industries have a good one for around 400, easiest one i could find, you will need some new tie rod ends to set this up, will post some pics when i finish sorting mine out.
If you make a cut right round axle housing 15mm in from the weld on the hub, you can rotate your hubs. You will need to do this as you change your pinion angle by rotating diff. Check out the suspension section in cruiser bible section. Once you see a soa 60 you will see just how easy it really is, all the work is in the front, rear is a piece of cake. How much for your pto, whats included.
