Anyone know of a Hi-Steer passenger side knuckle for the TJ Dana 30/44 that separates the Drag Link and Tie Rod end connection? (other than the Teraflex which I am aware of)
I know about the WJ knuckle swap (which requires WJ lower ball joint taper and the 1/4" spacer, etc..) and that the WJ loses about 3/4" on the tie rod but it can be flipped to get that back with Track bar modifications, etc.., I am looking for an option that would use the same upper and lower ball joints as the TJ. Any high steer TJ knuckle adapter bracket weld on options/examples that would provide the separate connection, possible double shear? I have an idea, but would like to see what else has been done.

I know all the geometry stuff and it is better to stay with the current Y steering with stock width axles, etc.... I also know how much up travel is possible with 11" shocks, etc...
None of that is related to my question. I just want to know if there are any options out there, I have been googling and searching and can't find anything other than the Teraflex.
 
Reid Racing made knuckles for the TJ that were designed to accept mid-70s spindles, bearing, hubs, etc. and also had provisions for high-steer arms.

I am running a set (without high steer arms). However, they were discontinued a few years ago and are probably incredibly scarce.

If you only need 1 side, I believe @mrblaine had 1 side but not sure which. When we spoke some time back, he was hoping to find a mate for it. If he hasn't found one, maybe he has what you're looking for and might be willing to part with it.

I have a left side.
