I was thinkin' about upgrading knuckle studs now that I've got the hydro assist working properly. How big of a pain in the arse is it to change those out? Anything special about removing them and installing?

No big deal. Just pop the steering arms off to make it easier. I got mine here http://frontrangeoffroadfab.com

Same size, no drilling, tapping needed. As long as your stock studs are 12mm, not the early 11mm ones.

We can get them too you by friday, give us a call!

Whats the verdict on the front range ARP studs vs. the TG studs? Have the TG ones been out long enough to get a feel for any differences?
