I have a question regard material selection. My build is a 94 ranger 2wd (Mild prerunner). Is getting a gm LS motor. 4 link in rear likely. Front I'm building my own TIB's. I'm not concerned about building the beams as I have a lot of fabrication buddies that know what there doing. However, I want to build my own inner steering knuckle (refering to where ball joint tapers bolt in to.) that would be getting welded into the beam. I have access to CNC mills so machining ball joint tapers is no big deal. But what material do I use for these. Likely be a 1" to 1-1/4 barstock of some kind. My other thought is to try finding a TTB Dana 44 and cutting the knuckle off that and using it on the end of my fabricated TIB tube. Then I get F150 steering knuckles. Thoughts and suggestions please.
