Dana 60 Kingpin steering knuckle & arms that tie together?

[Greg]

Mine have been dual shear like the TMR setup for about 12 years with zero problems. I don’t think a keyed knuckle is as important as the dual shear. It spreads the load across a lot more area.

Yeah, it's a much wider area to spread the load over... and aftermarket knuckles will only ensure zero issues.

Sky’s has a knuckle tie-in that’s kind of attractive vs the slab of meat style.

I have a set of TMRs Dana 44 raised arms. Quality is nice but if you’re in a real time crunch, ordering from snow Mexico blows unless you find USA inventory, not sure who their dealers are.

Per TMR, they once made aluminum arms but had a lot of failures.

Maybe kindly ask Ryan if he still does side runs of arms?

Not sure why the high steer arm market is all wonky.

And psa, greatautodeals on eBay gives me the heebie jeebies. They list stolen photos from every high steer manufacturer and at prices well below 50%.

Probably because kingpin knuckles are a thing of the past.

The Sky's arms look great, and the double sheer hole is centered too, unlike the TMR arms which have the hole close to the edge of the arm. Good call!

I think these will be what I buy.

I thought that was an interesting mention from TMR, I didn't like the idea of aluminum steering arms to begin with.

Their experience solidified the idea for me, funny how they mention LS engines and big 40"+ tires finding the limits of aluminum arms... and I'm running a LS3 with sticky 40's.

Those Sky arms drop down too, should help with wheel clearance. Though as I recall you're running a pretty low amount of backspacing?

Yeah, I have 2 sets of wheels with 3.5" BS... but I'd like to try a set with 4.5" BS and see how it works on the TJ.

Found these

I appreciate the heads up, I've ordered Solid knuckles and Sky's arms already. Hopefully I can mock them up next week and see how it's going to look with my Artec DE cyl mount.

 

[Ashcat]

Sweet. Solid knuckles are on my wish list for the KOH rig

 

[Greg]

Yeah, that'll work!

Need to drill the knuckle TRE hole to straight 3/4" and coat the parts so they don't rust (leaving mating and machined surfaces clean).

Hurry and get that thing done so you can come play down here in Southern Utah.
