Reid knuckles

DarkHollowBouncer46 · Feb 16, 2020

I have one of the new 17+Superduty 60s. I seen that Reid now has knuckles for both sides. So I was wondering what the opinion was on Reid knuckles vs welding to the stock knuckles since the Reid's aren't keyed and your just hoping the studs hold it?

Check out Weaver Fab. They offer a bolt on version for a new Superduty 60.

It doesn't seem like the bolts/studs holding the arms on would be very strong without being keyed. Is it common to see the bolts sheared off?

People have been running the standard version of Reid knuckles forever without issue. 6 ARP studs plus you can tie into the steering arm. You'll be fine without the keyway.

The Weaver Fab hi-steer arms utilize dowels to "key" to the knuckles.
