Dana 60 Knuckles?? (24th Oct 08 at 4:18am UTC)
Okay, my Dedenbear knuckles came in today I am getting ready to install them. Can I switch them around so that the steering arm in on the back side. Switch the driver and passenger sides? I would like to run a longer bolt through the high steer arm and the arm on the knuckle. Also, anyone know how to add pucks to a double ended ram? I was reading that that could cause future problems with knuckles breaking. Thanks..

Apparently, you did catch enough crab to pay for them. Solids were way to expensive and I want to get ready for Moon Rocks.

The Knuckle but I do not have any room for exterior stops. I would have to measure but I don't think the stops would have to be that big. Who can install internal stops?

External stops, I don't have the room. Due to the clearance of the ram and the axle. Unless, I am overseeing something. Which is very possible, Turning more just means breaking more things.

What could I do with that? I could possibly put something so that can hit the stop. But, the Ram shaft has only about 1/2" of clearance from the axle. Are you thinking that I could use an external shaft and have something that fits there to hit the stop?
