The Kaiser Qwik kits are the way to go. About twice as much as OEM, but take about half as much time for a mechanic to in$tall. A 94FLD, if that's what you are driving will run about $250-300 for Kaiser and about $150-250 OEM. This is if you have the 12,000lbs front end. Higher ratings are slightly higher $. As for durabilty is concerned I have heard little complaints, if any from either brands.

I'm wanting to replace my kingpins as well. In a 98 pete 379.
How hard are they to remove? Do I need a special tool?
