    Where can I get cheap kingpin press for replacing the kingpin set on a truck suspension thats a half ton? The axles/ibeams are off the frame and laying on the garage floor.

    Get a price for a local machine shop to hydraulic press them out and back in.
    Harbor freight has a 12 ton A frame press for $120 + tax.
    Maybe a rental store can rent you one for cheaper than a machine shop charges.

    Would this one be too small?

    Not sure how much force will be needed to press them out, depending upon rust or free play. The rental or machine shop may be a better route.
