I believe he said "I felt like more gas would help" or something to that effect. [emoji23]

Yeah, that might've been the last straw. [emoji41]

Little late here but I have a pair of factory knuckles if you need them. A lot closer than Hawaii.

Santa Brute to the Rescue!

I have to believe the Reid’s are significant stronger. Here’s a picture I found comparing them.

How much you’d have to discuss with them. But in the picture, you can see how much that tie rod gets raised.

I was getting that same small amount of rubbing on the tie rod as well and it just didn't seem worth moving the tabs for that small amount.
The spacer has worked out great.
Just get a slightly longer bolt and I went from the bottom up.

Ed (Brute) graciously sent me a set of OEM knuckles. I installed the driver side knuckle and that’s served me well for a couple of months. Im the meantime, I picked up some Rancho knuckles. To install those, I need to cut my PSC ram tabs off the TB bracket and move them up 1.5 inches. Got the new tabs today from Summit. Question is, while I have it all apart, should I install the dynatrac ball joints that have been sitting in my garage for a while, or get some more life out of the synergy’s I have in now?

I vote start fresh with the Prosteers... eliminates any question of fault in the new build.

I started the knuckle replacement project this weekend. I got the passenger side off today and noted that, like the driver side, the lower hole had been ovalized, although not to the point of failure. I’m looking forward to getting the Ranchos installed.

Since you're throwing on so many new components don't be alarmed if you have an odd feeling to the front end at first. It seems to take a couple hundred miles for the pro steers to settle in and all the parts to get cozy with each other. Mine were like that for 500 miles or so. :thumb:

I hate it when the lower hole gets ovalized. Good luck getting it tighter.

I think there’s still life left in the Synergy ball joints, so I’m going to leave them in for now.

How many miles do you have on the Synergy Ball Joints? I was just curious what to expect when I install mine...
