    Just the standard Ford kingpins. I welded some 1/4" plate to reinforce them and added tabs for the double shear

    Not really sure. Both the drag link and panhard are 44.5" if that helps.

    I haven't the foggiest.:eek:

    Go trail gear 6 shooter then allpro High steer. infact if you can stay away from as much trail gear product as possible that would be better for you in the long run.. but ive actually heard nothing bad about their 6 shooter knuckles... Ive heard both good and bad about the HC housings.

    If your staying only a smaller tire and going to be fairly light I would spend the money on knuckles and just upgrade the studs and keep them tight. Maybe do the 5th stud mod.

    I thought you were using a Dana axle? Maybe I'm behind in the times.

    that makes sense

    Thats correct, dana 44. I just know my axle doesn't have the flat top like most of the ones i see on here. And i wana have a good setup with steering so it seems i need different knuckles....

    Negative sir - sticking with my waggy housing etc... i was gonna flirt with a toyota parts but i decided not to. And you are correct, i plan to have a set for street (Pulling my trailer to races) and a set for off road.

    I just know VERY little about how to build these rigs. On another shitty note, my MAIN fabricator (Cousin with big ass dodge) is moving to Cali in a couple months for new GF :(.....

    So ive gotta make more friends in the area that are familiar with linking etc...

    On a positive note: pretty sure im getting a Warn Winch for christmas :D

    You need to do more research on your own, bud. We are not your encyclopedia.

    Just the fact that you are asking about using a Toyota knuckle on a Dana axle means you haven't done any research. Read, lurk, but don't ask every damn question until you try to answer it yourself.
