you can get one from A.R.E. I believe. I think PA racing has one as well. I don't think these are direct bolt-ins per say. May require some drilling. Might gibve em a call to get the real scoop.

Madman is the only company that I know of that is making a BOLTIN rack for a stock K-Member..

No welding is required
Its a DIRECT BOLT ON..

I'm getting one for sure as this is where the most weight is IMO...Add a set of A-Arms and its 45+ lbs off the nose....

Would steering be impossible with 275's on the front and this rack? Even with 45psi in the tires? I like how my Enkies look but may consider selling them if I go with the A Arms, K Member, Optima, man rack, lightened hood, !power steering with shortbelt etc. Can probably get around 100 pounds right off the front of the car. Another 80 from the interior and 30 more in misc stuff and I'll have the car 210 pounds lighter <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

I put up a couple of pics of the ARE setup on our website. Looks like a nice piece. I'll let you know about the install when we are finished.

If it came stock with 275's, it'll have a p/s cooler, something else you can remove.
