Re: dana closed knuckle swap out. need help

You can use the stock steering arm with 4" but you will experience some bump steer, since you are putting in a newer axle, I would up-grade the steering arm. Any axle 71 and up will bolt in. As for brakes, going with the disc up front, you may need to change your master cylinder to match the new set-up. I did you use a 70 master cylinder(4 wheel drums) with a 71 disc brake front end/drum rear and it worked fine. If you get a 70 front end it will have drums.
