Got the front truss/hydro ram mount welded up, fitted and welded to the axle.
Had to make a few changes to get it to fit properly. Made for an older model ford 60 and mine is out of a late model super duty.
I may have to cut off the top of diff cover where it bolts to truss and design something different. I won't know till I get it back under the jeep and centered.
Truss came from btf.

In the process of designing my own high steer for a 2005 or newer bj Dana 60.
The knuckles don't offer much space on top for high steer arms. I cut off the old tie rod ends off the knuckles. Ground flat, then drilled and tapped for five 1/2" gr 8 bolts.
3/4" stubby high steer arms will weld to the 3/8" plate that mounts to the knuckle. Then a long gusset will run from underneath the arm back to the 3/8 plate.
Should be super strong.
