Precision Engineering for the Trail: Why Your Rig Deserves a Dana 60 Steering Upgrade When you’re navigating tight technical trails or vertical rock faces, your steering needs to be more than just "functional"—it needs to be surgical. Most off-road enthusiasts eventually realize that the factory steering setup on a Kingpin axle is the bottleneck for true performance. Moving to a Dana 60 crossover steering kit is the most effective way to eliminate steering slop and protect your steering linkage from trail damage. At East West Offroad, we believe in over-engineering. That is why our Dana 60 complete high steer arm pair is designed to handle the most punishing environments without breaking a sweat. The Strength of Domestic Billet: 1.25 Inch Thick Dana 60 Billet Arms The foundation of any high-performance steering system is the material of the arms themselves. While many competitors use thinner materials or cast iron, our Dana 60 high steer arms are machined from 1.25-inch thick domestic billet blocks. Why Billet Matters for Heavy Duty Steering Arms Billet steel provides a much higher grain density than cast alternatives, meaning it can absorb massive shocks from boulders without cracking. This added thickness is especially vital when running hydraulic assist, as it prevents the arm from flexing under the intense pressure required to turn 40-inch tires. This Dana 60 steering upgrade is essentially "insurance" for your front end. Total Stability: The Kingpin Dana 60 High Steer Solution Leverage is useless if the pivot point is weak. The Kingpin design is legendary for its strength, but the factory nylon bushings are the "Achilles' heel" of the system. Upgrading to Dana 60 Kingpin Bronze Bushings A Dana 60 kingpin bronze bushings set is a mandatory upgrade for anyone serious about rock crawling. Unlike plastic, bronze doesn't compress or deform under the weight of a heavy rig. This ensures that your Dana 60 complete high steer arm pair remains perfectly aligned, eliminating the "steering wandering" common in older rigs. Secure Mounting with 5 Hole Pattern Dana 60 Steering Arms Security is paramount when you're miles away from the nearest pavement. Our arms feature a 5 hole pattern Dana 60 steering arms design, making them Reid compatible Dana 60 arms. By utilizing all five Dana 60 knuckle studs and our specialized Dana 60 tapered nuts, you create a rock-solid mechanical bond that resists shearing forces even in high-torque maneuvers. What Makes the EWO Dana 60 High Steer Arm Pair Unique? We don't just sell you the arms and leave you to find the hardware. This is a complete rock crawler steering kit that includes: Dana 60 Passenger and Driver Side Arms: Full coverage for your front axle. 1/2 Inch Fine Thread Studs Dana 60: High-tensile mounting hardware for maximum safety. Complete Kingpin Hardware: Grease fittings, spacers, and jam nuts are all included to make installation a breeze. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 1. Are these arms compatible with Reid Racing knuckles? Yes! These are Reid compatible Dana 60 arms. The 5 hole pattern Dana 60 steering arms ensures they fit perfectly on Reid knuckles as well as other high-performance aftermarket knuckles designed for the 5-hole configuration. 2. Can I install this Dana 60 crossover steering kit on a daily driver? Absolutely. While these are designed for extreme off road steering parts usage, the precision provided by the Kingpin bronze bushing set hardware actually improves on-road handling by removing the "play" often found in stock Kingpin setups. 3. What is included in the "Complete" kit? The EWO Dana 60 high steer arm pair includes the driver and passenger side arms (1.25" thick), the Kingpin bronze bushing set hardware, 10 Dana 60 knuckle studs, and 10 Dana 60 tapered nuts, along with all necessary grease fittings and spacers. 4. Why should I choose East West Offroad Dana 60 arms over cheaper cast options? Cheap cast arms are prone to "micro-cracks" that can lead to catastrophic failure on the trail. Dana 60 billet steering arms from EWO are CNC-machined for 100% consistency and strength, ensuring your steering stays intact when it matters most.
