I am going full hydro and want to use highsteer arms.
Would that be to destroy my d60 knuckles.

Yep, I wouldn't count on your knuckles lasting.

Check out how Stephen has his hydro cylinder mounted in the second picture here. A good way to move the steering up and keep the knuckle alive IMO.
 
Deadenbears would be nice but they do not fit in my budget.
If I don´t use highsteer arms i´m gonna put lots of steel in front of the cylinder.
It´s going to be a 2" 8" double ended cylinder.
Give me more opinions please :bow:
 
you can always use the stock tie rod position and sell your arms...or use a single ended ram...alot of people use them and if your not so worried about a full lock to lock then you will be fine
 
I have not ordered the arms yet and the way I´m thinking now is that I´ll not.
Thanks for all the answers and more are welcome :bow:
 
i was gonna go full hydro on my rig but im just not at the point yet to take that project on...im gonna swap to it later on down the road as an upgrade
 
Here are some pics of reinforced knuckles

Gonna take lots of pics on this thing when I start to build it.
Hopefully you can get some ideas from them.
