Reid Racing ARP High Steer 5 Stud Kit – Fine Thread

For use on Kingpin Dana 60 | Built to Clamp Down on Serious Steering Performance

Designed specifically for use with Reid Racing flat-top Dana 60 knuckles, this ARP 5-stud kit delivers extreme strength and reliability for mounting high steer arms on custom off-road rigs. Rated at 220,000 psi tensile strength, these fine-thread studs are built to secure high steer arms up to 1"–1.5" thick using tapered nuts—keeping everything locked down and trail-ready.

• 5th Stud for Reid Knuckles – While some knuckles only support a four-stud setup, the Reid Racing Knuckles add a fifth stud for added crucial clamping strength

• Fits 1" to 1.5" Thick Arms – Compatible with most aftermarket high steer arms

• Application: Dana 60 Kingpin knuckles only

• Fine Threads on Both Ends

• For Tapered Nuts

These studs are designed to thread directly into the top of your Reid Racing flat-top Dana 60 knuckle, creating strong, secure mounting points for your high steer arm. Once installed, the high steer arm slides over the five studs, aligning with the knuckle’s machined surface. Tapered nuts are then used to tighten the arm down evenly across all five points, providing maximum clamping force and stability. This setup eliminates the need for through-bolts or makeshift solutions, ensuring the high steer arm stays firmly in place even under the extreme stress of off-road driving.

Why High Steer Matters:

The primary advantage of a high steer setup is the increased clearance it provides by raising the drag link and tie rod above the axle, mounting them to the top of the steering knuckle. This repositioning is critical for keeping your steering components out of harm’s way when navigating rocks, deep ruts, or thick mud—common hazards on serious off-road trails. It’s not just about protection—proper high steer geometry also ensures your steering linkage operates at the correct angles, especially on lifted rigs. This helps prevent bump steer and maintains smooth, responsive handling even during extreme articulation. Done right, a high steer conversion improves both the durability and drivability of your off-road build.
