Maybe useless info, but it doesnt cost anything to gather......and maybe help someone else

This works but you have to change a few things. The 88 up lower ball joint is larger in diameter in the part that presses into the lower a arm. It is the same diameter as the ones for a 3/4 ton lower a arm. The upper ball joint mounts the same as the 71-87 upper ball joint so that the upper a arm will work. You would need to change to a 3/4 ton lower a arm and use teh 88-up ball joints, otherwise it works...
