K member install

[rtkjadams]

I was wondering if anyone has done this? can you use the stock steering box? Any cutting required, welding????

Thanks,

are you talking the Tubular K-Member, as offered in Jegs?

I'm interested in that one, so I'm curious as well.

Yes a tubular K member.

Should be a directly bolt-on. I beleive you will lose about 25-30lbs. w/it. You can get the tubular lower control arms in conjuction w/the k-member and lose up to 40lbs.

Yea, it should bolt right in and as far as weight reduction, BMR has one that is advertised to drop 60 lbs.

they all drop up to about 60 lbs. the design is a bit more fragile and is not as forgiving as the stocker when hitting large speed bumps, curbs etc, it is a direct swap. becarful though, some K members require tubular A arms also. i believe PA racing requires the tubular arms in conjunction with the K member

BMR is releasing their 3rdgen k member this summer. if you are in the market for 1, thats the one i would wait for
