D44 Flat-top Hi-steer knuckle questions

[69Bronc]

My question is about a Hi-steer conversion with machined flat-top knuckles. Is there anyone who has done this type of conversion, or can share some insight.

Just wanting to know if there’s any issues that might come up with this swap.

You need a good amount of lift, or it's going to crash into the frame, you need to check that out first.

Kinda board today so I went out and snapped some pic's for ya. did run into a little prob with it hitting the cross member so I cut and plated it. I cant remember what year knuckles I used but I did have to modify them to get the caliper to fit. Added hydro asst witch makes it pretty busy under there. I tied in the high steer arm with the existing arm on the knuckle by welding a tab on to the high steer arm and running a big bolt down through it in to the existing arm with a heavy wall bushing squeezed in between, sort of ties it all together.

Thank you to the ideas and pictures. In picture 2, where did you get the tube clamp for your ram assist at.
