Nope D60's use king pins and D44's use ball joints. Unless its a newer balljoint D60 but I still think not.

No D60 uses a D44 sized knuckle, be it kingpin or ball joint.

Those are D44 flat top knuckles for use with high steer or crossover steering. They require an open knuckle D44 axle though. If yours is stock, its closed knuckle and they won't work.

My 1988 jeep has open knuckles.

Ahh ok. For some reason I thought yours was a 60’s. Helps to put vehicle details into your signature :)

That kit in the picture should work fine for you. Are you going SOA?

I bought a salvage yard axle, if I can rework it into something I can swap in, on the same day of removing the current axle.
Welding on perches, add a locker., and pivot pinon angle for optional driveshaft line up.
