The swap is good for trail rigs only and what they did on pirate was different then what I did

I know it was different, it just reminded me of yours, so I came on here looking for the info.
Justin, had you done the knuckle swap on a 35?

If I understand correctly, you used a spacer/sleeve in the D44 knuckle to use the D35 ball joints, rather than reaming out the D35 beams to accept a D44 ball joint. Is this correct? Do you think it would have worked better to do it that way (D44 ball joints)?

Hence why you would ream out the D35 beam to use them.

I found someone who did what I am talking about:
I know you have enough spare D35's laying around to try this.

Great info Randall.. Thanks for sharing. I might look in to some of these options when I start working on Russell's Navajo. Im sure I will be doing the build up on that one any way.

I thought he was getting rid of the Navajo?
