Post high steer knuckle kit for dana 44

hey guys new to the site but figured id ask this and see what kinda feed back i would get i have a 92 xj with 15 inches of custom fabricated lift dana 44 in front and 10.25 in the rear wanted to see if anyone on the site knows any good high steering knuckle kits that would work for a dana 44 high pinion front end. just got mine finished and having some problems with some play in the steering arm however i did not do a high steer knuckle kit when i was installing the lift. figured id use what i had and see what i would come out with so now that iv done a little testing i came up with the conclusion that i need a HIGH STEER KNUCKLE KIT BAD! so please give me some good sites and links for a good high end high steer knuckle kit for the dana 44 front end if you guys could do that it would be great thanks a lot

if you have a chevy d44, you might just have a flat top knuckle that just needs to be machined, drilled and tapped. then just bolt on steering arms.

look here for more info.

I have Reids, they're cool but $. You can deck, drill and tap some knuckles and run high steer fine. Why is the team tank smiley here? Does anyone even know what is?

Guessing you have a ford front axle with 5 bolt spindles so the chevy and scout flat tops wouldn't work without swapping out knuckles. The f250 versions have enough meat on them and are flat tops that just need to be drilled and tapped, f150 versions don't have enough meat on them and can break if you grind them down flat to tap them.

Does this have anything to do with the topic, or are you just trying to stir the pot? Ask your best friend who is a Staff member, maybe he can answer.
