Anybody run dana 44 high steer arms on 60 ball joint knuckle?

I like Rusty's solution, weld that **** on there
Neal3000 said:Just my lameass opinion of course, but i think the keyway should be parallel to the arms, that perpendicular step just doesn't seem like it would add much, the notch in the back is barely going around the brake mount. All the stress going down into the knuckle of those 6 studs looks too concentated in a small area on top of the knuckle, a really good shot could just blow the top of the knuckle up. Maybe that setup and then welded would be the shiznit?
