I am asking 2K OBO. With serious consideration on the OBO LOL
I need to buy some parts from HemiDenny to get my car on the ground.

I bought a AJE suspension kit for my Barracuda I am building to remove the old torsion bar suspension in favor of an suspension system utilizing a Mustang 2 steering rack and coil overs. I have changed directions in the build of my car from a 1/4 mile car to a touring car and will be selling this kit while I buy another kit more in line with my intended use.

There were some design flaws with the lower control arms which came with the kit. Flaws which included the same Heim Joints as the upper, so I had custom lower control arms built with larger Heim's and the Mopar Performance M logo cut in. I had a Jeep Fabricator build the new lower control arms. These lower control arms cost me 3/4 of my asking price. And I have well over $5k in all the parts.

This kit comes with Coil Over shocks. In one of my pictures you will see 1 bushing missing. I was getting ready to replace the rubber with poly. If it matters, I will purchase the poly replacement to show that they are correct.

I was getting ready to weld in the lower shock tabs on the lower control arms this spring when I made the decision to change where I am now removing the system. As you can see, the powder coating was removed from the lower control arm in prep for welding. Also notice the tabs which have a aluminum JIG between them to set the spacing correct for the lower shocks to ensure correct fitment after install. Those jigs were built using my metal lathe.

Lower Ball Joints are Moog Mustang 2.

Upper Control Arm ball Joints are mopar.

The steering rack is a Mustang 2 High ratio power steering rack.

The Tubular K Member sits lower than stock by roughly 1 inch to allow larger oil pans to fit. There are no motor mounts at this time has I had plan for that which would allow this system to fit different engines with out changing the K Member. The first engine I was going to install (Jeep 4.0L) was only to be a temp engine till I could build a australian Chrysler 265 inline 6 hemi (Yes, that does exist)

The suspension system is meant to be used for large bolt pattern A body rotors with the large single piston calipers normally found in 72 to 76 A-Body mopars. Will need knuckles to complete the kit.

I am $2K OBO, and will consider reasonable offers.

There was a couple questions asked of me I believe I should give additional information on.

This kit is 100% bolt on. No additional stiffening is required.

Regarding the installation of the coil overs. If you look at the second picture, you will see 2 brackets on the left of the coil overs. Those brackets have a single bolt up top which goes thru the original shock hole. Then there are 4 bolts, crush sleeves, and a back plate which fasten to the sub frame down below. You do have to remove the OEM bump stop used for the lower control arm. Thats done with a plug weld cutter, I bough a small set for $40ish new.

Clarification on the engine mounts. There are no engine mounting plates. I had a plan for a module design based on stuff done with Jeeps (I have 3) as the Jeep 4.0L (inline 6) was to be a temp motor till I installed a Chrysler 265 Hemi (inline 6). When I made the change, I didnt want to have to cut and weld to the K Member. I can share my design thoughts to those who are interested.
 
A person who asked AJE on the early vs late A body fitment told me that there is a difference between the 2 K members of around 2 inches. So even with the slots in my K Member, its only for the second gen A body.
