A modification that I like for the 1/2 ton king pin bushings is to fix them in the spindles as they are on larger trucks. This eliminates a wear point and can correct a little bit of a sloppy fit.
To do so I use Loctite 660 to fill the gaps between the bushing and the spindle bores. Be sure while the goo sets the kingpin is inserted in the bushings to properly align them.
