Nice setup. Who's K Member? And no Relocation brackets on the rear? Now if only someone would make a lighter spindle that was strong enough for severe duty.

Looks great! I just installed the Wolfe Adjustable Spring Perches also but I went with a heavier spring. Forgive me if I am wrong, but dont you have the pearches mounted upside down? The adjuster is supposed to be on the top? Have you set this on the ground yet? Would like to see a picture of it on the ground if you have one.

Could you post some detailed pictures of the bars also, i have really yet to see the Wolfe ones and would like to see how they mount and clear the pan hard bar. how long are they?

I bet its a BMR. I don't think there is a need for the relocation brackets with all the stuff he's got at this point. Most hardcore guys with them set them back to stock.

AJE makes a lighter spindle I believe.

Here is the car on the ground, the bars are 60" long, and the panhard goes between the top and the bottom bar, clear no problem
