So Id put in in, and then ream it again, then I could do the parts mike deal?
edit: So I read farther down the parts mike page, and it said it was a 7/8. Is that to much for the stock D30 knuckles? Or should I choose one of these?

If your going to run 1 ton TRE's you don't need the goferit spacer at all... top or bottom...
Your actualy going to drill the knuckle out to 5/8" which gets rid of the factory taper all together... THEN ream for the 1 ton stuff.
If you want to run your steering on top of the knuckle you will need to clearance; sway bar mounts, coil buckets, and the stabilizer bracket. Also check for clearance on your rim.
Feel free to give me a call if you need info or parts.

So you only need to use the incerts if you are using the stock stuff? So I drill and ream it and then I can use the 1 tons.... hmmm...monkeyevil said:
So the stock D30 knuckles will hold up to a 7/8'' hole?

the 7/8" is the size of the threads on the TRE. The tapper is a 1.5" per foot, 7* reamer. So you will have to drill a 5/8" hole to get rid of factory tapper, then you tapper that 5/8" hole to fit the one ton TRE's. The knuckles hold up fine. We have installed/sold over 200 steering kits and no problems.
