Post CC Front shock/ball joint help

Good Morning all....

I just started my winter project and I am putting a all sport 6" lift on and was hoping that someone could share some knowledge on sourcing parts. I am wanting to replace my OEM CC front shocks as well as the 3 ball joint that control the steering. Does anyone know where I could get them and any corresponding part numbers?

I will be posting pics of the build a little later. Any help would be appreciated.

Chris

OEM shock #1014235 & 1015813 for 1981 and up DS CART
tie rod ends right hand thread #7539 left hand #7540 DS CART
Most of the sloppines in those front ends comes from worn bushings and sleeves in the A arms!

Thanks ScottyB.... I got all the parts I needed and began the install. I will say that the front was a piece of cake....

On the other hand.... The rear was not. I am running into a problem and was wondering what others had done to overcome the issue.

The rear plate that holds the brake lines is welded to the skid plate and the axle was originaly bolted to this with a single U-bolt crossing the axle at an angle. . I know this may sound like a noobie comment but the lift kit (all sport 6") says to use two u-bolts and the brake line plate does not have the holes for this type of installation. I considered drilling holes but wanted to get opinions first. I thought the All Sport was a bolt on kit.

BTW, here are a few pics of the progress....

In the center picture it looks as if you will need to drill the other two holes in the plate and use square or flat bottom U bolts.
I would have to guess if that were the case they should have come in the kit.
I don't see where to OEM single u bolt will work at all.
Did the kit come with instructions?

Gonna be a nice looking cart when you get it worked out.

Thanks for the reply Crash. That is the same thought I had but wanted to make sure others have been down this path. The instructions say nothing about drilling but it should not be too difficult.

Give them a call in the AM and see what the Tech guys say.
Maybe they missed the rear u bolts or know a secret.

Thanks again ScottyB.... All Sport and Everything Carts are a pleasure to deal with. EC with everything carts is sending the parts I need. I guess the kit I purchased was for a 97 and later model and I have a 96. I need a different top plate and U-bolts.
