Frequently Asked Questions
What does this kit do?
It strengthens the Dana 60 steering knuckle and gives you mounting options for your steering, including running the tie rod in double shear for added strength.
Which variant do I need?
Match it to your knuckles: OEM Ford (not aftermarket), OEM Dodge (not aftermarket), or the All Reid/Solid/Crane and OEM Chevy option. The three variants share the same design but suit different knuckle castings.
Does it work with any high steer arm?
It is designed specifically to complement the Artec Ultimate 60 High Steer Arms. It reinforces the knuckle and provides the double-shear tie rod mounting to pair with them.
Can I run my tie rod in double shear?
Yes. The DOM sleeve ends are machined for a 3/4" heim so you can mount the tie rod in double shear, which resists the loads that bend or break single-shear setups. Pair it with the Artec Full Hydro Tie Rod Kit to complete the steering.
