Oh, Lordy! DO IT!!!
I got my Kit from Quigley, so what QuadVan provides may be slightly different. I got ABS Sensors I did not need (late model uses a different plug), and had to buy my own Radius Arm Nuts/Bolts (from Ford) and Brake Hoses (Dorman brand from Amazon). Quigley sent me front shocks but I needed to get the upper mounting hardware. Lower was on the shocks.
Remember, you get "loaded" calipers. The pads will be included. New, bigger rotors of course, then the both whole axles and the updated radius arms. Be sure the Splash Pans are on the Axle Spindles.
Complete kit weighed 400-pounds, but the axles themselves are relatively light. Heaviest parts are Rotors. I did the whole project in my driveway without help.
