I'm no rocket scientist, but maybe he's looking to switch to kingpin style knuckles?..?
possibly for crossover steering ? high steer arms:..?/ Since there's more aftermarket gear available for modding the kingpin styles. This is usually desirable when/if doing substantial lift on the rig.
just my thoughts.

Other than that, yes, I'd agree; I think the super 60's are just slightly beefier.

not sure if this link helps or maybe ya'll are already familiar w/ it, but helps me a bit to understand as I'm looking for options of building a rock crawler rig on a SD chassis.
