Is there a difference between the chevy flat tops for high steer and the fords?
Will the Ford D44s flat tops bolt up to a Jeep D44?
I've read about the chevy, but not sure about the fords?
Thanks

any same era D44 knuckle shopuld bolt onto your housing. The new new D44's are slightly ifferent from what I have seen (like the ones used on the wrangler rubicons). But those arent flat top anyways.

The knuckles and ball joints are swapable but the spindles are not. The ford has a larger than GM diameter spindle that has 5 bolt (instead of 6 GM/FSJ), so if you are going with 5 or 8 lug you are all set, otherwise (6 lug) you might want a GM flat top instead. Oh and the caliper is huge on the 8 lug ford so you can't grind it down like the GM if you want to squeeze a 15" rim on there.
