BANDIT - 2023 Jeep JT Gladiator Rubicon

Looks awesome, I plan on getting a set when I regear Jaela’s rig. Not a fan of changing the flange on the axle side.
There are real benefits to changing the flanges to yokes and the biggest of which is that they'll allow you to run a longer shaft and up front, that means it will sit at a shallower angle. As in, you can run a bit more caster without the consequence of vibrations. But, you do need to be careful to not over tighten your pinion nut and further crush the crush sleeve.

Good to know, I never thought of the increased benefits of having a long shaft 😂. But in all seriousness it’s the crush sleeve that I’m hesitant about.
 
I have to say, I'm really impressed with the quality of the Rock Jock high steer knuckles. Not only do they look really clean, they also are a LOT beefier than the POS aluminum factory ones. Here's a side by side shot to show how much higher up the steering arm is.

Shot of the passenger side knuckle installed. It's a shame the finer details like the shape and logo get hidden by the dust shield/rotor.

And finally, here are a few shots of what everything looks like installed.

Of course, an install video is in the works :cool:
Well I'm kinda let for the party. Don't know how I missed this. Can't wait for the install video. Damn I even overlooked that you already posted the video. I'm way behind. Lol 😆
