HELLFIRE FJ80 Knuckles & High-Steer!

Alright all ready! We purchased Hellfire Fab 2 years ago and thought it would be an easy transition doing the mods it took to make them perfect. I could not have been so far from the truth!

We have had a ton of problems with design changes and machine shops but have fought through it for long enough. They are ready!

Some of the changes have been simple, some have been seriously challenging, some have required designing completely new tools to get the job done and keep the cost under control. Whatever it took we pressed on and finally came to the conclusion we wanted!

These are better than the factory knuckles by more than a little! Substantially stronger and a high steer that works with 6 stud retention. Those 6 studs are also much stronger than stock and easier to find if you break one because they are Dana 60 studs. Stronger and less expensive! All come with a 25mm bearing upgrade. Tapered for FJ80 TRE's so they are easy to taper out to a GM 1 ton TRE or drill out for heim steering. Set screw shimless preload adjustment. Lower cap with countersunk bolts.

The lower caps will be welded Monday morning and shipping will commence Monday afternoon! We have 82 people on the list and I'm sure some have decided to go another route after we kept them waiting so long but all spots will be served in the order received. We are getting these at the rate of 16 pair a week from the machinist and the next set of castings have already been ordered but give us a call asap to get yours!

lol

 

Is there going to be a trade in program lol ..


How far should these turn with an 8 inch ram?

I was told to run a 8 inch ram but I am over turning my birfs .. then it takes out my seals..

Your 9.5 housing.. 2nd? Batch of Hellfires and RCV 30 spline shafts.

 

James-

I'll have to get back to you on the turning angles, but the Birf is going to be the limiting factor. The knuckle could pivot all the way past the stops if you removed them, but if the birf can't handle it you are toast.

Are you asking about a second housing? Or saying that you have gone through 2 sets of RCV 30 spline shafts?

Do you have any pics of how your ram is attached to the steering? Are you running it to the tie-rod holes, or to the further out drag link hole on the high steer arm?
