If you don't mind not having it, then you have nothing to worry about.


BUT!!! If you do it this way you can still use your ABS.

A question i really started pondering on the 80 mile ride home with the truck......from all of the posts i have previously seen id say no,however im not sure if its only because of the ball joint size differance or if there would be a caster/camber differance with the ttb setup.....definatly need to look into that......if its only a ball joint size differance i have machine shop connections to handle that

leave it to me to buy a whole truck for hubs and spindles......lol.......of course parting out the truck will pretty much pay for everything im doing under my truck right now!

Anyone need a great running efi 460?trans,t-case,.....etc?

The TTB knuckles will not bolt on. This I know for a fact. The solid 60 knuckles (fron the HD F-250's and F-350's) are the ones that you can take the full knuckles off. That is my understanding of it at least.
