Front End Kit
Classic Industries has pretty decent stuff. Front-end rebuilt kits are common, and some of the cheaper ones contain significant amounts of China steel (lower quality iron ore, compared to legacy US) or china-made parts with inconsistent process control.
Moog brand has historically been considered among the better parts to use in a front-end rebuild. Some say they're even better than OEM. I actually enjoy rebuilding the front-end among the various tasks I've been involved with over the years on Mopars.
I think I've even seen counterfeit Moog suspension parts, so pay close attention to packaging, if you go Moog.
If I were starting out fresh on my first Mopar, I would make Moog parts a priority, and a few tools, such as the Upper Ball Joint socket. It is common to also replace the pitman and/or idler arms during a rebuild. Some even use polyurethane bushings.

I bought my kit from PST and I've been happy with it. I bought new upper control arms and they put the new ball joints in. I also bought b the tie rod billet peices and the car tracks very well. They have a 10% off for gorum members here.
