...Just thought if I was going to built the Dana 44 that I should put the Reid knuckles on. Since I had them why not make it high steer. If I’m buying everything new and starting from scratch why not make it the best it could be
Agreed! Good way to think.
But like said, that level of modding is probably one of the few things I would consider overkill and not only unnecessary, but one that leads to more trouble and headaches than any potential benefit it would provide.
At least for what you intend to do with an Early Bronco.
No "street" benefit at all that I can see, unless you can utilize it and get all the angles to work to perfection. And no benefit to hydraulic ram-assist with smaller tires either, if that's also what you were contemplating.
But then, I like to keep things simple too. Plenty of fine examples of highly modified rigs here on the forums to prove that some of the stuff is worth it and some are just cool.
But some are too much trouble.
You can still look into it of course. Maybe someone will chime in with some good results. But it's still usually for the more highly modified rigs with big tires and some need for it. In your case there are plenty of other things you can do to make it more street/trail capable without going so extreme.
