i want to upgrade to the 9/16 studs for the dana 44
i have read all the post and searched all the threads here and on the P forum too..

so i know i can do it.. no problem.. but the problem is the taper on the hi-steer arms
i dont know what degree that is.. or how to get a special tool to counter sink them..

any info on the tapered holes in the arms will help out alot....

thanks....  brian higdon....

thanks for all the help guy's  ,, and here is a link to the reamer if you want to do it your self..
me and a couple buddy's will chip in and buy this to keep the cost down....

yea i have seen the pics before, i have researched this for weeks,
and i am going to do a 5th stud too. but it will be the 9/16 stud

i need the degree of the taper on the dana 44 cone washer and
how to get taper my arms myself,

what are the dimension's of the cone washer.. length, width at top, width at bottom
then i can do the math and find the angle so i can try to find something to contersink
the arms with....
