You will need thing arms. The thing arms/spindles use ball-joints the link/king pin is an older style setup found on 65 and older bugs.

You won't need thing spindles on yours Mike, trust me, you will have just the right altitude. Chris is right, thing is bj only. You will be going to king pin front with some beefy spindle gussets!

I love the design, I just HATE the 6" over stock track on the front end....fine for sand rails, but not buggies IMHO.....Guess I'll be building my own :-)
