I have a '96 Chevy K1500 that has been straight axled. I have a Dana 60 out of an '01 Dodge Ram under it that is converted to leaf springs. Right now I have the knuckles drilled out and a drag link made out of DOM tubing with heim ends connected to the top of the passenger knuckle for steering. It works, but only has about 1/4" clearance over the right side leaf when turned all the way left, so when the right side droops it can hit the leaf. I'm wondering if ANYONE makes an aftermarket high steer knuckle for this axle..I can't seem to find one. I'm half thinking of looking for an Ford Dana 60 to put under it.
 
I had similar problems with a PS side high steer arm for the drag link only. It was a Sky Mfg arm, kingpin Ford axle and Ford frame. The drag link hit the spring when it was drooped out, and hit the frame on stuff. There just isn't enough room.
