Default Tubular K-Member Pretty Much Done/Pics

I'm really curious to find out if this is going to improve handling, and, if so, how noticeable will it be?

the adjustable lowers will give you room to adjust your caster which is what will help in the handling, not to mention the GREATLY reduced weight in the front end. when i was doing my swap i came across a tubular Kmember and got it, but due to budget i had to get rid of it...i sure to wish i had kept it. lucky man you are my friend. not only does it look great it'll drop a good 25-30 pounds in just the kmember, not to mention more for the lower aarms.

Actually, it took about 3 hours to assemble. It's a very well-engineered unit, and, as long as you pay half-a$$ed attention to the assembly instructions, it's about like dinking around with the erector sets we all had when we were kids.

One thing's for sure, compared to the Spohn, the OEM K-Member components are pretty cheesy....I could actually flex the upper A-arms with my bare hands.
