[QUOTE="Rjhoward32006, post: 649308, member: 4043"] I'm a shitty fabricator/welder and I made it work lol. I also did the diy4x kit, stock chevy knuckles and built a hi-steer tie in kit after I bent one of the arms.... arp studs in the knuckle. 39" reds on a light Toyota buggy but I beat the piss out of it, enough that it bent a 1" thick steering arm. Pre-heating works better, but I just turned the welder up Lincoln 180hd and went to town. after it cooled overnight sitting on the work bench I noticed a crack in one of the welds so I ground it out, pre heated and welded it back in. no problems so far. I will say if you are running stock brakes make sure the plate on the back side of the knuckle is close as you can get it and make sure your welds don't stick out far or the caliper will hit. if it does hit it just took a min and a grinder to make it fit.
