Did anyone had any experience or knows about All-Pro Steering Arms?
I have been previously using Trail-Gear ones. Now on the market for the new set. Pricewise they are very similar, All-Pro $249 and Trail-Gear $239. Marlin-Crawler seems to be similar to Trail-Gear Arms, just Machined vs TG and AP being Forged, but they are more expensive, $299.

4x4 Labs 6 shooters
 
You buy the $50 kit that supplies two blocks that you weld on to your existing knuckles making them able to accept 6 stud hysteer arms.

Good info. Thank you. For now I just stay as 4-stud knuckle.
Which Steering Arms would be preferable for 4-stud knuckle?
 
Marlin sells just the arms and kits depending on your needs.
 
Personal preference would be Marlin, my 02.
 
You can get 4x4Labs arms in 4-stud too. Don't know why you would do that when you could get 6-stud arms essentially the same price.

I have those All-pro arms. Nothing special about them. They work.
 
This is my humble uneducated oppion just from reading up the past few weeks on the same topic. The keyed option seems best to me marlins seem second best and the six shooters seem third best. Of course budget is always an thing to consider.

Third best:
 
Don’t mistake Trail Fear’s Six shooter arms with 4x4labs.. big difference there.

The keyed arms are a great concept, but I have heard less then stellar things about the quality of the machine work. The exact word was sloppy. That’s just what I’ve heard through word of mouth though.
 
Where can I get an FJ60 High Steering kit today (2024). Some of those links above don’t work anymore.

Front-Range, Marlin Crawler, Trail Gear.
