i believe Ryan ran stock knuckles with artec arms / tie in kit.  thats what i would go with if you dont want to do solid knuckles/solid arms like matts car, or the next step solid knuckles / keyed artec tied in arms like my car. 


Matt and mikes solid arms are both bent with keyed 5 bolt knuckles. 

i have broken 3-4 stock knuckles.

Agree. I'm assuming yours will be on about the same abuse level as mine and/or Dakota... Both fine with stock knuckles

Stock knuckles with the Artec arms tied in is what the Profender car had. Artec is about the highest quality arm you can get for a stock knuckle.

Today's progress report:

King pin kits from East Cost Gear Supply.  Fast shipping - 2 days!


Spent 40 minutes with a blasting cabinet this morning.


Dry-fit for dim confirmation before long side cut.


King pin and lower race installed.  Caster set.  Ready for welding.


Comparison.  Photo trickery makes "old" look much longer.  Only ~1.5" shorter.


Temporarily home.  Link brackets next.  Never mind that leaf spring hanger...

Sweet stuffs!
No high steer is the ONLY reason Dakota knuckles lived. Stock steering arms are find. High steer and 40s it's a matter of when not if IMO
