Hell yeahs right! Going out camping on Memorial to test it out offroad. I'm interested to see how it does. Pretty impressive on the street, huge difference over an open diff taking off the line at a light, and just a single pop as it disengages on the corners. Before it was making all kinds of noise, turns out my dumb *** did'nt have everything lined up correctly, LOL. Live and learn!

ya that will be an interesting trip, if you get up to the forest lake turn off make SURE you video people trying to cross that river.... that will be good watching right there but other then that i think its going to be late just before the trails are even passable...... especially if we keep getting storms like the last few that have dumped almost 8+ inches up there

looking for a little advice. I am getting ready to go cross over steering. I found a pair of flat top knuckles drilled 3/4" for hiems. not my plan but thinking it could work and the price is right... I would have 2 options. (my tie rod is not low and is over the knuckle clearance doesn't seam to be an issue)
1- run cross over and keep the hiems on all sides of the tie rod/drag link
2- go full high steer and have the drivers knuckle drilled and tapped to run a 7/8" Chevy tie rods, it would be a bit over budget, a little over kill but nice.

I have been searching here, pirate and Google to find answers and i feel like i made a decision and then turn right back around and search some more and can't make up my mind. looking to build it once lol...... anyone with personal experience of one being better over the other? it is my DD.....

*edit* anyone have a pass chev/jeep d44 flat top knuckle? or pair for a good price?

For DD heim joints are not going to be your friend. Ideally the 1-ton chev TRE's would be the best route to go. The TRE"s will last longer/better than the heim's. I was running a setup with DOM, CHev 1-ton TRE"s. It would have worked great except the guy I bought the axle from drilled the knuckles out to 7/8" and used the TRE inserts instead of reaming the knuckles. The inserts kept going to crap, even after I welded a couple of them in they would waller out and I kept getting slop in the steering. I recently re did the steering with 7/8" heims. Much more responsive, but I don't DD it either.

You should make a decision soon though, if you dont pick up those knuckles on RME I just might snag them.

Wish I could fit 35 12.5 on my jeep I would buy the tires on ksl lol

Which ones? I need some new ones I tore the side wall out on my new set.

Ya I would definitely stay away from running heims on your steering for a dd. I do and I hate it

I think it's a guy from here selling them hankook mt
