I think the pins are like 1 1/2".
I have never done any thing like this before my self but I hear that dealing with the bushings are a real pain in the butt..
Maybe some body else can give you more info.
You could also call Summit or jegs and talk to a tech, they are very knowledgeable.

It shouldnt be too big of a deal I tore my jeeps front end down to the bare housing and got new gaskets for the knuckles and stuff and it was pretty easy to do. I dont know about a 2wd though.
