Stupid question, I know, but can you use just the knuckles from a lift kit (like tuff country or fabtech) to gain a little extra lift? I'd like around 3" of lift total and I've already cranked 1" and that's as far as I'd like to crank.

Could you physically do it? Maybe. I wouldn't, unless you're removing the front driveshafts.

No because the knuckle lift idea comea from that instead of dropping your upper and lower control arms the knuckle doesnt make you use the upper control arm drop bracket. So you would also need the lower control arm drop bracket for this to work, but it in all honesty wouldnt because your suspension geometry would be whacked out.

Ah. Gotcha. I thought they worked similar to 2wd lift spindles, but only gave an inch or so.
