And please take your time posting. I for one am more willing to help when I can just read your post instead of trying to decipher typos.

I'm thinking take Thomas up on his offer. Split the cost of an $80 reamer, and if he messes up it's still the same price to replace the knuckles as it would be to pay the shop.
He did install 1-ton on his TJ, so I know he's able. The lack of warranty makes me uneasy lol

Why not inserts?

Meh. I would still be too worried about over reaming the knuckle compared to just drilling out a whole foreign insert to fit in.

That's why I only looked at ones that were already inspected last time I bought one. Then I went the other route and just looked at 20 year old ones so I could tag it as historic and bypass the MD inspection which turned out to be a wise move since the one I got would have failed inspection on 25 counts

So apparently the Cove Campground has told Chaos Offroad they're not welcomed at the Big Dogs event this weekend.
Pretty ****ty move on their part.
