This guy Devil is a real joke when it comes to RMS. Bashing them and their product on forums any chance he can get and yet has no actual physical proof that their system has failed anyone at all PERIOD. Can you post your engineering degree for all of us to see what your credentials are....Oh wait that's right you don't have one.
Everyone knows if just one small part of the RMS system failed it would have been plastered all over the internet by now. Funny how doing a Google search right now turns up nothing at all. Where are all these failures? Does RMS offer them hush money to keep quiet?
I see cars every week driven to car shows and cruises with RMS suspensions. I just don't understand how they can drive them without any incidents on the road week after week, mile after mile if they are strictly made for off road use only. Devil better make sure he stays far away from all the RMS equipped cars on the Power Tours. We would not want one to fail while they are passing you on the highway.
Now you say the actual unit will fall out of the car. Did you ever think of writing for a comedian. That line is hilarious.
So instead of adding anything useful to the post, you decide to try and insult me. That is the tactic of a 7 year old and very sad to see a adult try it.
You sound very intelligent spewing nothing of any facts. Just "googled" it and didn't come up with anything, probably didn't go past the first page.
Did you read any of the previous posts? Or did you just jump to the end? How I actually like the setup, how it does work well in Mopars and I think it is a good upgrade, but the cars front frame rails need to be strengthened. I wouldn't mount it to a stock Mopar front end, it doesn't have the strength for long term. It is actually the front frame rails that would fail, not the setup. It is because of the way the setup transfers the ALL of the energy of the front suspension through just those 4 K-member bolts, where they were never meant to take that sort of stress. The front K-member bolts had one job, to keep the K-member in place along with the engine. It was never meant to take additional stress from the full front suspension. That's why the torsion bar was used, to transfer that energy back and distribute it to the rear cross member.
I don't go all over the place preaching about the faults in the design, I just inform people where I can, when I notice it.
And I really could care less, if there has been a documented failure or not. There just has to be one for someone to get hurt. And I'm trying to give people all the information and their options.
I have a Minor in Engineering from the Northern Illinois School of Engineering. Hell, a first year engineering student could understand the flaws with the setup.
And I have ridden in cars with RMS setups, you're right. They are nice. Would I own one for a street cruiser, no way without modifications or in special use vehicles.
Ryan, how would you strengthen the front frame rails then?
That's not that hard, just like you do with anything else you strengthen, you would weld in re-enforcement plates, gussets, etc... to make that area stronger. It gives the area more mass to distribute the energy too. I know one mopar builder that went as far as cutting out the original K-member bolt holes, make a little enclosure around the bolt holes with gussets and re-enforcement plates, then welding it back into the frame rails with additional gussets and re-enforcements to make sure that the front end was safe.
For the money is is a great setup, makes Mopars handle better for a bit less then other setups. Just make sure you do the whole package, don't just bolt it in and go.
