Has anyone ever put a coil over front on a duster? Does there have to be any mods to the lower control arm once the torsion bar is removed? Any other helpful suggestions. Thanks

you can retain the stock LCA with the right mods.

also think about shock tower bracing as DusterDave said, a must do !

i make a complete coil over conversion kit also to think about

my website has details on the setup.

what mods are needed on the LCA's? Do you have pics?

I need some pics of stock LCA mods.

1. you will need to en large the shock bolt hole on the LCA, its only 7/16
needs to be 1/2 for the coil over bearing end and make a few 1/8 spacers to take up the extra room.

2. press out your LCA pivot shafts and machine a 3/8 x 24 thread into the back of them, that way you can retain the LCA from not wanting to pull loose from the pivot shaft, only the bushing is holding it on.locite it on with a washer to retain it.

3. brace the shock towers, it will want to twist the top of the frame rails in towards the motor and break the spot welds in the front frame rail in time.

heres a pic of a new set of stock lower pivot shafts with a 3/8 x 24 thread in the back of them and a set of upper billet mounts heading Deigo Teds way i need the machine the spacers up for him yet

what length shocks do I need, and what should the ride height be?

the best shock is the AFco M2/BNC
direct fit drag shock that is coil over ready with 5 inch of travel.
AFco is doing a awesome job at the mopar valving on these shocks which i have custom built and valved.
a few pics of a M2
