Hey guys, First post here on the site. I have a 2005 2wd F150 Texas Ed. with a 2.5" leveling spacer and 2.5" rear Blocks with 6 month old Bilstein 5100 Shocks and UCA's with upper ball joints, lower ball joints and Outer tie rod ends. The truck sits *** high (Use my truck for Hauling so level with load) sitting on a set of Custom 315-70-r17 (34.6")BFG Tires with Guard Dog MT Tread from Treadwright (Awesome Tires BTW, second set!) and finally 98,000 miles. Whew, ok, I am wondering if I can Bolt on some 4wd Steering Knuckles to my 2wd Mounting Brackets? I am wanting to do this because my Upper Ball joints are Flexing pretty hard and the 4X4 Knuckles are taller, while the Tie rod ends and Lower Ball joints look fine and more relaxed I would just like to take some stress off of them so I don't have to replace them before a year when i can afford some Uniballs. If this can't work then (this may sound stupid) is there a Knuckle spacer? Thanks for the help!

 

Moved to 04'-08' section.

 

Any Takers?

 

Highly doubt it would work. 2wd is going to have a stub axle for the brake assy and I'm guessing a 4wd spindle is going to have a nice big hole there for the half shaft

 

Thanks for the reply, When you say Stub Axle, what do you mean? The ones on my 2wd have a Hex bolt plug where the Spindle hole would be on a 4x4 almost like they could be interchangeable but I have been told for years that the 04-08 4x4 knuckles are taller than 2wd's and on 09 and up the Knuckles are the same but there are drop down brackets on the frame itself for A-arms on the 4x4 models, thanks again for the help!
