HIGHSTEER AND TNT TRUSS

I have a tnt truss and I just had my inner knuckles cut and turned and I throw my highsteer on my outer knuckles and when I put the knuckles back on the axle and put my tie rod on from one to knuckle to the other the tierod is about 1/2in from the springs and when I turn it hits the springs.

I am running partsmike highsteer and a tnt customs front truss on a 3/4 ton dana 44

will post pics

Well I am running partsmike steering arms so I called him up and talked to some people. They said that I am running the wrong arms my arms are 5in something from center of ball joint to center of steering hole and and I should be running 6in witch will I think give my enough room so I have to go home and check it out

I used stock F250 Dana 44 Flat-top Ford knuckles.



I went with highsteer arms from a company called Harsh Terain they sell 2 arms for $120 the arms are long enough to get the tie rod far enough out to clear the coil springs.



However, the stock pitman arm is only 5 1/2" hole to hole and as such, doesn't have enough "throw" to turn the knuckles all the way to the steering stops. So I used a Waggy pitman arm which is 7" hole to hole and matches well with my high steer arms.



This combined with a new draglink and tie rod with 1 ton Chevy TREs did the trick for me. Steering is excellent, light years ahead of the stock configuration.
