Mopar Suspension Rebuild Kit

Hey guys. My hours just got cut at work and it looks like I'll have only 30 hours a week for the near future due to you know what. So my mind goes to having a lot more free time and hoping to get my Dart better than ever. Has anybody used this kit before? I know Dr. Diff sells quality stuff, but is there perhaps another kit that others recommend? I have a 72 Dart with a 73+ front disc brake swap. Not looking to do anything crazy (yet), just want to refresh everything to handle my new small block. Thank you!

EDIT : Looks like PST would be a contender as well. I don't mind a little extra work to install bushings and ball joints.

I got the PST max polygraphite suspension rebuild. I also added a new Gmax front sway bar and KYB shocks all around and just finished installing a rear bar I had laying around. From the 12 miles I've driven on the car since it was done it works quite well. If I could find a way to keep from taking the car apart every other day I'd have more miles on it... :realcrazy:

I think most will tell you both kits are good. The PST kit really wasnt hard to install, you might run into some kinks as I know I did. For the UCA ball joints you need a special socket (25 dollars on amazon) and the LCA bushing needs to be pressed out leaving the metal sleeve in. I bought a press at harbor freight to do this. I took the LCA to 3 shops that told me they couldn't do the bushing for me :BangHead::mad: 80 bucks later with a new press I had them in and out in 10 minutes... although I did tear 1 of the bushings. PST was supposed to send me a new one but i think it got lost in the mail? Lol

Hope this helps!

Thank you for the thorough response! Thankfully we have done a 73 Duster suspension rebuild before and already have that socket and the Harbor Fraud hydraulic press so its why I'm not very opposed to the extra work. Dr. Diff had the benefit of New UCAs, but I think only 3 or 4 years ago did my Dart get converted with new ones anyways. Sounds like I might be getting the PST kit instead.
