Take a look at This Thread and Also This One
So you know the players:
carringb was the first OP to report doing this project DIY. Bought parts from NW QuadVan
j-d (that's me) did a DIY conversion with parts from Quigley in PA with lots of tips from carringb
holiday27 had his front end upgraded by NW QuadVan - be sure to read his symptoms and results
deprived upgraded his front end DIY with parts from Quigley - I posted a Thread With Pix like deprived did
It seems to work out that if:
you need a full front brake job (new rotors and pads, new or rebuilt calipers)
--OR---
you need extensive axle repair (new ball joints and bushings)
then getting new take-off parts becomes cost-effective.
The deal-breaker can be SHIPPING. My palletized crate from Quigley weighed 400-pounds
