I was jokingly referring to the Reid Super Kingpin setup, which does require new inner-Cs. I wasn't aware of the Crane ones.
None of the factory style beefed up knuckles from Reid, Crane, or Solid will help me here by the way. They all have the same steering arm dimension as factory (Crane also only makes the high steer version for Ford).
You're right - the GM knuckles crossed my mind, but I'd need new spindles, knuckles, AND 2500hd brake mounting brackets. Would definitely like to keep the scope creep in check.
I'm not sure I follow what you mean about the tabs being added to the DOM tied to the stock knuckle. Do you have a picture of what you're describing? I'm not opposed to something like that.
I Google and try to find it.
Imagine the ~1.5" Dom straight between the stock knuckle point and the high steer arm.
Have small tabs coming off the front.
Or, nut up and clearance the ox cover.
OK, I'm really not sure how the shift fork is in there.
From what I've seen most aftermarket covers stick out way too far caugh ruffstuff caugh
