When I built my Kp60 I bought solids for $425 shipped and sold my stock knuckles for $250. I don’t know why anyone would run stock knuckles.
 
Justdiffs nearly got me with the dedenbear knuckles during the dumb sale... but the keyed solids seem like the best way to go.

Thanks for the comparison 👍

Yeah, ordered a set for a KP60 project. They are darn nice for the money. Went with the bling arms from Ballistic Fab that are predrilled to mount in double shear with this knuckle (slight fitment likely required). Dana 60 Double Shear Modular High Steer Arms REV 2.0

Those arms are super nice, damn! Their price for both double shear arms isn't horrible either considering what you get and how bad ass they are. :smokin:

May be a dumb question but what's the small hole/tab for off the side of the heim joint area?

Agreed. Hopefully I didn't sound like I was complaining. They are a lot more than other arms....but they are works of art .

Are the Solid knuckles cast iron or cast steel?

Yeah, if you want cast steel, Crane's the way to go....I have those on a different KP60 and I did weld to them (which is the big draw, IMO). They've been great, no issues....but with the SA knuckle tied to the BF arm via the factory tire rod location with the SRE sandwiched between, I doubt welding will be necessary.
