So I have been considering an Alterkation setup for the front of my 72 Dart. The car is a drag car that sees very limited street. I like the fact that the rack and pinion is there. The stock steering on my car is pretty sketchy, maybe the box needs to be rebuilt, or maybe that is how old Mopar boxes are. So I just wanted some feedback from people that have used this setup and how it works. Is there enough front end travel for launch? how is stability at the top end?
Thanks in advance!
72 Dart 500" low deck Indy SR heads. 10.40 @129 best so far

You can buy a Strange strut assembly with everything but the rack for $1800-$2000 and thats with brakes.. this is the way I went on the Rampage.. lighter and way cheaper

I got mine without motor mounts , but with everything else a couple - three years back and it came unpainted. It was less than 5.5k , but inflation and pricing on the stuff Bill doesn't build might explain the jump. I haven't had mine rolling under power yet , but I think I am days away. Quality of build and materials is first rate though.

It's probably the least expensive of them all. Built by STR fab.

sorry... only been a buck twenty and some change so far . I have no regrets so far with the tube K. Header builder appreciated how the frame tubes were tucked tight to the frame. The Alter-k ones protrude into the engine bay quite a bit as he "noted" on a couple other builds. Love the room, no working around torsion bars, steers like a dream. Can't wait to put more to it!
What kit is this?
