Love it. I really need to get some more time on my mill making stuff like this.

Rob will those fit inside the stock 15" wheels?

With stock rotor yes. You'll need an aftermarket caliper though.

So 2 nights of screwing around trying to figure out the issue. Come to find out the parts house gave me a similar but incorrect lower ball joint. It ended up changing the knuckle placement downward causing the stub shaft to bind. I put in the correct one and the steering cycles full range while spinning the d44 diff. 2 dementions to change for snap ring clearance and I can start making these things in quantity.

Man. chasing your tail on stuff like wrong parts is a killer. This is why I almost always looked up my own parts. That way I can only hate myself when I blow it! I'm glad to hear you got it figured out. Those looks bad ass!

I was irritated. Here's a pic stock center ( confirmed by 3 bad rusty stock ones) replacements left and right. Left being the good one right being the wrong part. I discovered it after removing the rubber boot. The left boot appears to be glued on.

So yesterday I became a Yukon gear dealer so after I grab my resale liscense I can get what I need to put these knuckle kits together with new complete parts if you guys wanted. Vs run your exsisting hubs ect. I needed to do this cause I needed a line on stub shafts for another project I have cooking.

What all is needed other than stock parts?

If my current stock parts are good then I'd like to keep using them for cost purposes. No sense on buying parts just to buy parts of the old ones are in great shape.

Nothing philo, but if a guy wanted to switch from 5 bolt to 6 bolt snouts ect. It's a way for me to get better pricing ect. Mainly it's a way for me to get parts for other assemblies I have cooking. I should have 5 spindle types not just for broncos done by summer.

Nice. I wouldn't mind if I could get these with a Dana 60 snout to match the rear of my truck. I haven't bothered to check if axles could be made with the correct u-joint but I doubt that would be an issue.

He told me he thinks he has the D50 parts on the D44 beams thing figured out with a knuckle like this. You could then run the D50 snout (= pretty much a D60 snout) and your hubs.
