      Any chance you have the Ksport BG lower mounts that you want to part with?

        Yes, but I already have a recipient for them... I'm already giving them to another member on here.

            No. Bearing size is different. Theoretically you could have the hubs machined down to the correct OD.

              does anyone know if you could do the opposite machine the spidle, for the mx-6 bearings as I'm assuming they are bigger??

                they actually aren't bigger bearings. just grab BJ 5 lug hubs and make those work

                    its been too long since i've read the research on it. the BJ uses the same wheel bearing so the OD of the hub is the same.
                    you can buy brand new BJ hubs all day long. go ahead and grab one & do some comparison work.

                      How is this setup feeling? Is there still considerable bump steer?

                        yes still considerable bump steer- i drive pretty aggressively so this bugs the hell out of me. it might not bug you/others.
                        the front spindles i have now will go up for sale next month

                          Ryan, mine no longer bump steers really... I have dialed it out with loads of caster. Tilting the spindle until the tie rods are nearly parallel with the lca's. I'll have it on the alignment rack sometime before Father's Day, and I'll finally know for sure what my caster numbers are. They are astronomical but I can still manage slicks and manual steering.

                            I'll be patiently waiting as well. The bump steer was the only thing holding me back from doing the swap. Last thing I need is to hit a bump at 100 , lose control and steer off the highway or something.

                              Could just flip the tie rod.
