Default UMI Performance K-Member Released w/ Pictures

Hello Members,

After over a year of design time, many installations and even more testing our tubular K-Member is finally ready to be sold. We have many many hours into this set-up and we are very confident this item will top the market in durabilty and survival. I pasted a link below with a write up, product pictures and installation pictures. LT1 version will be available very shortly.

This item is priced at $479.99 each and is available in Red or Black. Shipping will currently take 1 week and they can be purchased through us or anyone of our certified vendors.

If you have any questions please ask.

I'm sure you've posted answers to the following questions a billion times but .....

What is the final weight of the K-member? Material?

By any chance can you tell me what the combined weight of the K-member and your upper and lower A-arms would be?

I'm looking to start tweaking my front and rear suspension and I'm split between you guys and BMR.

Just doing some research.

Edit: Also, what manual racks is it compatible with?

Hello Frank,

The final weight of the K-Member is 32lbs which is a 25lb savings over the stock K-Member. The savings of both the K-Member and A-Arms would be 33lbs.

If you need anymore help just let me know and I am glad to help.

Thanks!
Ryan

Ryan, on your website, part of the description says

"Additional front end adjustment can also be achieved with this item, the lower A-Arm slots feature a ½” adjustment built in and will work with the stock and any aftermarket A-Arm set-up."

Does this mean additional camber/caster adjustment above and beyond what's possible with the factory setup? If so, any info on just how much more adjustment there is? What's the max camber and caster adjustment possible with these k-members and stock a-arms?
