anyone have subframe cradle damage? What the engine sits on basically. scrapes and dents from bottoming out? Seems mine has a dent in the passenger side and i guess its pulling my passenger side alignment off. I noticed on other 4th gen fbodys that they usually do have some sort of scar so i was wondering if its common and if other people have fixed or replaced this hella expensive part. thoughts?

more commonly known as the K member. if it's really bad look for a used one. they're pretty cheap. otherwise aftermarkets aren't all that expensive either.

ahhh its a k-member also huh? that would make looking for it easier. thanks for the insight. are there any benefits to an aftermarket piece like strength or technology?

Frogger

Scratch that last question. Looked into spohn k members. They seem great for half the price of a new gm one. anyone have it installed? Does it change anything like feel or alignment?

I believe they are lighter and more "performance" built than the stock unit. You will need an alignment after the install. I think alot of guys have added this to their suspension. Hopefully they will chime in with their input.

main advantage is weight reduction. try to find a car being parted out locally, i've seen them go for as little as ~$100 around here.

sounds like a good idea. the weight savings is a plus and they just look soo damn cool. im getting an expert alignment shop to take a look tomorrow. ill keep you posted

Hello
I noticed that you are having issues with your K Member! And I figured I would just throw this out there for you as another suggestion. UMI Performance offer's a few different styles of K Member's both Stock replacement and a Road Race Version (extra bracing). And if you are looking for maximum weight savings. I would suggest a set of upper and lower control arms to save 33lbs off the front and if you went with Chrome Moly it would save you a total of 35.5 lbs. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. And I will be more than glad to help. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer!
