I'm putting in a 6.5 long arm lift and want to address the steering and considering options.
In looking at the JCR 1ton conversion instructions I see that the wide end of the knuckle taper (bottom of knuckle) BEFORE reaming is the same as the narrow end of the taper (top of knuckle) AFTER reaming. So I'm wondering, if you are going to the trouble anyway, why not ream from the top down and do an OTK flip at the same time? It just seems like a given that that is the way it should be done but the instructions don't say anything about it. Has anyone done this or does anyone know of a reason not to do it?
