I just had them machine flat a HP Dana 44 knuckle to accept a Hysteer arm that I purchased from them too. The workmanship, communication, and turnaround time is amazing. Not only did they machine the knuckle flat but they also machined a groove in the top of the knuckle to accept a protusion machined in the bottom of the steering arm. WOW! Once I reassembled this, I started working on the tie rod. For some reason, the right hand thread tube adapter that I purchased from another source was loose on the TRE. When I contacted the vendor about this to exchange it, I was informed that all of them probably fit the same. The crazy thing about this was that the left hand thread adapter fit great. Anyway, I decided to keep the adapter hopeing it may shrink from welding it in place. It didn't so I contacted David at DT Machine and Fabrication/www.sky-manufacturing.com for one of his. I just received it and the TRE fits noticeably better.

Anyway, for anyone needing this type of work or parts, I suggest them. The machine work, the beefy steering arm, mounting kit, and postage from Texas to Oregon and back was about $150.00.

For what it's worth, I am in no affiliated them...just a happy customer!
