Flight industries knuckles

[RMC]

Hello gang, my name is Robert, I posted a thread in the intro section introducing myself, a friend suggested I get on this forum to see if there any interest in this product I’ve made more that 60 sets of with zero failure. I have sets more than 15 years old still in working order. Let me know if there’s any interest, since I’m making them agian. Here’s some pics for your enjoyment. I can make any year, any snout package on the 1984-1996 TTB platform as a production part. I’ve also made a few set of uniball knuckles and beams per customer request, as well as full suspension systems, cages general customer fab and machining ect. I’m thinking of making some more parts of there’s any interest.

Nice to see you here, Robert. Mine are still running, strong! #002
Before and after updating and refreshing with a big brake kit!

I made a set of these camber adjustable in all beams for a dude named Joey miller some years ago. They turned out pretty solid but the build was abandoned and they ended up purchased by a guy in Texas. Never heard what happened to them after that. A honeycomb of internal gussets and base structure material was .120 1.75 tube main connection. Complete overkill. But the first of its kind, a truly camber adjustable set up via 180 degree camber cams and keeper system.

Why don't they fit the 80-83 spindles and hubs? I thought they were all the same just calipers changed in 85

Beautiful parts!

What is that Eagle from in your logo? Is that German thing?

My buddy's Dad was kinda obsessed with that eagle for a while. He was the machine shop manager at Sarnoff Research and used to CNC and EDM that thing into everything. Rings, Necklaces and anything else he could think of. Never did find out what the significance was.

Cool story- He took us to work one day and bored the cylinder from my 1977 cr125 in the Sarnoff shop. While he did that, We punched out slugs for the candy machine.

They fit all D44 TTB broncos and f150’s. They do not fit the solid axle’s models prior to the TTB. I can’t figure out how to edit yet. Sorry still getting used to the platform format.

Yeah 79 was last of the half ton d44 front ends. 1980-96 half ton 4x4s are D44 TTB.

Ya my moms side of the family is German and my dads side is Irish. The logo was supposed to be a mixture of the American flag and the bird off the German flag, except the German flag version has more toes lol.
My brother drew it up for me and I was like looks sick lll rock it.

One time this dude in Michigan hit me up to make a set of 2wd TTB knuckles that used raptor unit bearings because he beam swapped a newer f150 that used d44 ends. He also wanted the same wheels and tires he already had to work and he liked the idea that parts were off the shelf at his local Napa. Who am I to argue, if I can make its and keep the KPI correct I’ll do it. So after some chin scratching this is what I came up with. One off set for sure.

That's awesome! I thought it looked a little different but couldn't place it.

Yeah, My buddy's grand parents were from Germany, And his Dad spoke German.

Next time I see my buddy (that was in the 80's, We still dual sport together) I'm going to ask him if he has any of the stuff his Pop made. Cool shit.

Congrats on your business Dude. You are definitely talented.
