Good to know. My Aisin hubs are still stock. So I might hold off on the ARP studs until I go with chromoly hub gears.

I think you get a set of hub gears with a set of rcv axles

While you're there get some studs to replace the spindle bolts, they will make your life easier.
Hellfire Knucks!!! Nice. Remember when you want to sell this truck in the future contact me first!
OH. Dibs on your y link steering. PM about it please.

That's a good idea too. It's a pain to get the spindle and gaskets installed with bolts instead of studs. Not a bad price either for the kit

I'll keep you in mind
But about the ylink steering, I'm actually keeping that. Gonna use the same steering links, just swap over knuckles. The only thing I'll be getting rid of is the RHD steering arm.
Wanna sell the rhd arm?

Yeah it'll be for sale as soon as I get it removed. You got dibs if you want it!
I'm surprised with all of this work you're not doing a ruff stuff front with the 9.5 along with your hellfire knuckles. Or is that in the future plans?

That's a few thousand dollars more. It's not a simple "while I'm in there" upgrade, especially with 5.29s already setup. 3link brackets are made specifically for the FJ80 8" front axle which means I'd need new brackets from Brian or go full custom with RuffStuff brackets. I have thought abot it though. I guess the plan for now is to see how it goes with the 8" diff. I try to be careful while wheeling and don't treat it like a rock bouncer from the South. I think the first time I blow an 8" R&P will make me rethink going the 9.5" route but for now it's just too much money!

Honestly just doing the top two would be all you need to make a difference. The only thing I'm not sure about is the amount of room in there, I can't remember if non-JIS bolt/nut heads would fit or not. It's been awhile since I've been in there.
What's going to happen with your FOR lift?

I'll have just the springs to get rid of. Shocks are crap and leaked their oil a while back so those are going in the trash.

Made some good progress today. Things are going quicker than I thought considering I'm only using a grinder and a sawzall. At this point I just have the driver's side towers, panhard and 2 radius arm brackets to remove.
