You don't need new upper control arms if you use a set of ball joint adaptors from Dr. Diff, which I included in my total. Can order them here

And I'd be surprised if there wasn't a F/J/M body in a lot near you, 5th ave's, diplomat's etc had the right spindles all the way up to '89. And they add less than a 1/4" per side to the track width. If you're stuffing lots of tire under there, I'm just guessing that you're also running 17's or 18's, and the extra track width will be easily made up by the backspace that comes on most of those rims.

But its your choice. I run the later 11.75" Mopar disks on all my cars, they work great, and parts are readily available. Now that you can buy the 11.75" caliper brackets, its a super easy swap.

ther are not to many yards in the area I 'm at that even have F/M/J bodies. the scrapping frenzy to care of that, most of the walk thru yards have only late models FWD card and mostly imports or trucks and SUV's at that. yeah you can find a few here and there if your lucky, but I'm stuck in chevy and mercede's country down here in north central florida. it sucks! I usually go up to Michigan in the summer to work on finishing up a show car or 2 for my friend (trailer queens but still mopars) and hit the yards up there. that's where I got my seats at for 25.00 per seat with electronic's(again late model) if I happen to see a set in the yards up there be sure that I will get them for a good price and use them on the wife's dart since she's getting the good 15" rallies on here car.
