: What are the opitions for High Steer on Ball Joint D60 MT 07-17-2002, 08:23 AM Friend is building a HP BJ Dana 60 and want to run high steer arm. For those that have done this what works best? At this point we are considering having the knuckle milled flat and then having an arm waterjet cut to fit. How many bolts can we expect to fit in the limited space of these knuckles?

What do I get! :eek: :D I'll take whats behind door #3 MT 07-17-2002, 12:16 PM Anyone have a link or a pic showing the 44 arm mounted on the BJ D60? MT GhettoRig 07-17-2002, 01:16 PM I made one out of one inch flat plate, drilled and tapped 5 holes in the knuckle (one 1/2", four smaller), then welded the whole thing on using some very expensive rod that my local welding shop said was designed for welding steel to cast, and welded a big web gusset on for strength. In Cedar City I hit a rock really hard on one side, and it transferred the force through the wheel, to the knuckle, to my welded on arm, through the draglink, and finally broke a GM one ton tie rod end that was connected to my Pitman arm. My welded on steering arm was unscathed, so I don't worry about it's strength any more. TONY K 07-17-2002, 01:31 PM "I belive the the BJ 60's use D44 high steer arms." The 44 arm needs a little material taken off around the ball joint. D/T gets a pretty penny for theirs. I'd buy a regular 44 arm do it yourself. I think I might have a drawing. PM me if you need it. see ya, tony CHOKEu 07-17-2002, 02:13 PM Dtracs 60 ball joint knuckels come drilled and tapped, already for a high steer arm.
