That should have said:

"The taper is from the top. The tierod attaches to the top of it"

Blaine,

How are your WJ knuckles holding up? I believe you're running 37's...correct? Any problems? Just curious if anything has broken yet. I had to re-taper (top to bottom) like the downeast kit and I wonder how much strength I'll lose as a result of less material. If I remember correctly you also had to re-drill the knuckle for your heim steering links. Hopefully it's a non issue...but I hate to remove material from that area espcially if/when I do a ram assist.

Any other general updates on how they've worked thus far would be great.

Thanks,

Mike

I also may have a set of brakes from a WJ if you are interested. 2 or three if I play my cards right.

Blaine,
I forgot that you offered me the WJ brakes. How much? Will they work with 15" wheels?

They are holding up fine so far. Yes I have 37's and stronger steering. Nothing broken yet.

I think Blaine did the same as me in reaming the hole to 5/8" all the way through which is less than if one did the Go Fer It inserts. I am only running 33's on my XJ right now.
