I weighed a COMPLETE factory K-frame, upper and lower control arms, manual steering box, pitman arm, idler arm, drag link, torsion bars, factory shocks, and ball joints.....the whole thing weighed appox 120lbs....how can they claim a 150-200lb savings?? .....just wonderin'

I think most aftermarket K-Frames state a weight savings of 70 to 80 pounds, if you combine that with the 70-80 pound savings of a Gen III Hemi over an LA or Magnum motor you are in the 150 pound range.

Is 150 Pounds off the front end an unreasonable estimate of the weight savings? Perhaps, but I bet 100 pounds off the front end is doable.
