I've explored that avenue and found a few more hurdles than I had first thought. I used Supermaxx EXT knuckles, RPM upper arm w/a little cut off the end to make up for the extended top on the Supermaxx knuckles, Proline lower arms, and titanium turnbuckles. The problem is Supermaxx knuckles do not have the arm that attaches to the turnbuckle centered on the knuckle, they are right left and front back specific. The arm is about an 1/8 inch higher than center. I
beleive you also have to use UE turn buckles which have a bit of an offset and make up for the offset arm location. Without the UE turnbuckles the wheels toe in noticably and also increase in camber as they go through their travel. Another thing I have noticed with Aluminum knuckles of any kind is increased binding, I think it is the fact that there is metal to metal contact (suspension ball to inside surface of the knuckle). You either have to constantly lube them or run them a little on the loose side. Just my 2 cents:018: If I find a solution for the before mentioned problem I'll post it.
