First thing I did to the suspension was clean it.

C-Notch

Belltech Spindles and PowerStop cross drilled rotors

The Rotors are for Hardbody only (they don't have any for 720's) but I was able to install them by using Belltech drop spindles. The spndles are made for hardbodies but are made to fit the 720 by using spacers included with the spindles. Everything else is the same.... from calipers to the hub.

I removed everything and cleaned it off.

The outer tie rods had to be trimmed so I cut off 1" off each of the ends. I went ahead and installed a new upper ball joint.

After installing the new spindles and adjusting the torsions bars I realized the rear needs to go lower and that the wheels hit the fenders when the suspension compresses.

3" angled blocks

I painted the blocks same color as old blocks and calipers, drums and other fittings.

Rear brakes and Drums

Finally replaced the rear brakes and painted the drums to match the front spindles and calipers.
