K-Member Question So many of these to choose from. Who would you say makes the best K-Member with upper and lower a-arms in both weight and strength. Going onto a strictly strip car. Which would everybody choose and why?
If by "strip only" you mean trailered, almost any will be OK and you
can go by weight and maybe compatibility with other lightening mods
like manual rack, tubular motor mounts, etc.
If you really need to drive it home, you'll spend some time figuring out
which ones are tougher. Hopefully you have an eye for that. Because
everybody's is top notch according to them but the warranty fine
print says you're on your own, pretty much. And warranties don't
mean jack when you're in the ditch.
Plenty of threads about it if you care to look for them. Lots of opinions
and many that have nothing to back it up. But you can find some
interesting things under the right rock.
Look at it this way. If you're going to take off the bumper and door
cores, then you may as well go for the lightest weight K. If you aren't
up for that kind of risk then you may not want to shave that last 5
pounds off a structural piece either, vs beefier ones.
