Okay I am in the final stages of my HP44 9" swap I my question are revolving around my steering set-up. I want to run chevy 1 ton TRE and 1.5" DOM which I already have both, as well the RE bracket kit installed by a local shop (CRSU) to bolt in indentically to a D30. I cannot set the TR on top of the factory ford knuckles because the taper is from the bottom. I have a free 89 ram charger that has a D44 front end with flat top knuckles on both sides, the drivers side already has the studs for the factory steering arm, and the bolt pattern matches the the 9" at 5x5.5 So does any one see any problems in swaping the dodge stuff onto my ford housing from the knuckles out, prividing that I have the pass. side knuckle tapped for hysteer arm? And what kinds of set-ups are you all running on your XJ's, I am concerned if this dodge conversion works for me that I will need to be careful in selecting hysteer arms to find a set that wont interfer with the coils. thanks in advance for any help, -steve.
