    What do you guys think of the Magnumforce tubular K-frame replacement?

    Is it a good system? I hear it removes 100 pounds or more off the front end.  :wavingflag:

    Their entry level design puts all the suspension loads in to the shock towers which are not designed to handle that much weight. Over time the inner fenders will deflect enough to cause panel alignment issues.

    Thanks for the info guys, I goofed up with posting this question in the 'newbie' section, sorry about that, didn't see it until it was too late.
    Do you think the original Chrysler engineers would be a little pissed with their torsion bars getting the ax?

    I like the CAP X member it retains the T bars with a tubular K
     I doubt the magnum force X member would stand up to the pounding on the street for long with welded spindles

    Really, do they hide some factory style lower control arm anchors in their frame?

    They have a version that has a custom short torsion bar in the tubing that runs parallel to the frame. Pretty interesting. Uses a non coil over shock in the stock location but moves the torsions for clearance and weight. He doesn't have it on his website (at least the last time I looked....). There are some pictures on Big Block Dart if you search. IIRC, it's over 6 grand for that version. He originally built a torsion bar version for the Viper Challenger he helped build for the car builder Delaney.
