I too would like a set of these fabled often talked about 6 studded knuckles, but I have been surviving just fine on my marlin crossover steering with 39.5 iroks/detroit locked front/stock studs. I have broke some but it's not a reoccuring event. Tice runs 36's with hydro assist and stock bolts without breaking any steering arm studs. Bertha runs 38 TSL-SX with hydro assist and stock bolts and again I have never seen him break any studs. Here's a hint, that may and hopefully help you survive the wait, that we (myself, tice, bertha and anyone that runs with us) all live by: Torq your steering arm nuts before EVERY run to called specs with the cone washers and flat washers. Over tightening and of course loose arms will break quickly. The reason my studs broke the few times they have is due to me not living my this simple rule, I just flat didn't check them. The bolts do loosen even over just one trail. Check them often.
Now back to the waiting.
