    20s for the Demon - how low can I go? (big wheel haters don't look)

    yeah I knew his wheels where smaller, but the same game plan of raising the inners should help out with the wheel and tire height, but getting a 20" wheel to turn in there is going to be a task with the fender lip... I'm going with 18's on my Demon and I thought that was going big.

    20s for the Demon - how low can I go? (big wheel haters don't look)

    john -- take a look at 76orangewagon build. he did some surgery on the inner fenders of his Duster that may help you get 20's up front. He cut the tops of the inner fenders un the hood and raised them up around 2-3 inches. Open the hood and you still have the stock inner fenders and only a...

    Viper Dart Suspension questions

    the viper will also require specially wiring, a computer flash program, custom motor mounts due to location, cutting up the trans tunnel, new cross members, etc etc etc which all come with big $$$$. That's why I am doing all of my body mods, sheet metal work, custom fab'd stuff etc... then if...

    AlterKtion - True Pro-Touring Suspension

    Get in touch with the folks at G-Force as well, they are in PA. They built a Demon with an Alterkation front end and this is about where they ended up to the bottom of the torsion bar cross member (5-5.5"). It puts the bottom of the front frame rail at about 12 - 12.5". I know because I...

    Ok so lets really talk K-members here Folks

    John, I know the term "akerman" and have read a few of the very technical and very confusing (to me) articles written about it. But based on your picture showing only the front wheels you can not draw an "imaginary line from the absolute center of the rear axle to the lower ball joint and...

    Ok so lets really talk K-members here Folks

    Is this a bottom view of a RMS set up??? Do I see anything wrong with the akerman, ummm. no? actually I have no clue how to spot akerman issues from a picture, but after spending a day talking to you about it I felt I needed to give a response before i go to bed. . . great topic john, I'll...

    Ok so lets really talk K-members here Folks

    john sorry to make it sound like you said it would $400 your correct you didn't -- I meant to reference your posts of I think it was (3) mustang options that ranged in the $400 - $600 range. I agree with you that I like the idea of a aftermarket k - frame that allows the use of the stock...

    Ok so lets really talk K-members here Folks

    wow you go out for dinner and some drinks and you miss a page or so of comments.... johnsparts: You wanted my opinion so here it is. $2600 and you have to use your stock spindles and brakes??? Guessing at a cost break down of the $2600 K-frame - $1100 manual rack with tie rod ends $ 300...

    Ok so lets really talk K-members here Folks

    So then what is the price range on just your bare k-frame? You had to have talked cost?? If its not $400 - $500 or less then according to the original idea of this thread by johnparts it could be deemed just another over priced mopar part produced at a price to gouge us. I hope everyone...

    Ok so lets really talk K-members here Folks

    USCG.... I agree with you on that one. So are you or Johnparts buying one from Tshell? If so, then why not post your price or price range for your set up. If not then I guess we can all just speculate until a point when he sells one. I am personally going with an RMS unit, most likely...

    Ok so lets really talk K-members here Folks

    Not really in the whole scope of building a car. Since your close to this project, then kick out a price on what you and the builder think it would cost? The only point keeping this conversation going is that there is a new possible product here, building hype, and no parties close to...

    Ok so lets really talk K-members here Folks

    I agree with you and johnsparts that yes a stronger K-frame at $400-$500 would be great, but lets face it if it could be done and a profit made it would have been done already. Can it done if you do it yourself (ie not paying yourself for labor) YES many have done it. But to call it simple...

    Ok so lets really talk K-members here Folks

    Just heard from Bill at RMS and yes you can buy the kit piece by piece, he says its actually a pretty common question. FYI the frame alone is $1399..... if you can't pop on the whole kit at once email Bill and he will send you the breakdown on the parts. Its still not $400 - $600 bucks like...

    How do you determine "ride height" to make suspension mods??

    LOL - Thanks Rev..... It got me close enough to set the ride height and determine the rear tires I want to use will fit. nice part was they only cost me a little time and (3) sheets of plywood....that beats $1000 per corner any day of the week!!

    How do you determine "ride height" to make suspension mods??

    granted, but at least they are willing to do it. . . unless someone jumps on the band wagon and starts make 18x12's soon (by march when I get my tax refund check) I will be going that route now that my ride height is set and I can proceed over the next month with getting my 4 link installed...
