Get the RPM bearing carriers front and rear for the 5X11 bearings.

Get the bearings too. :)

If you really have the incentive to modify it. replace the flimsy front kingpin with one of the 1/8" screw pins used for the A-Arms. You need to ream the hole and shorten the screw pins. The standard kingpins bend easy if you hit something and then your steering is bound up without you knowing about it. Obviously, you need an extra set of the screw pins to do this.
