That is one of the burliest crank pickup mounts I've ever seen. Doubles as an engine lift?
if you look at the aluminum block there aint lot of places to hang one, it does not weight much as it is hollow.

When were your components purchased? Quote:
Just started installing my XV front suspension yesterday on my 70 Challenger vert, so far shock towers are looking good, will see tomorrow when the control arms go in.

I had the same problems with magnum force they sent me a body stuff for b body told me that it was my fault nothing they can do . the manager told me they dont need east coast buisness they have more than they can handle out west . It took 3 weeks and came threw wrong and told me Im stuck with it . NOW I have firmfeel and hotchkiss and love it and after the sale both where very helpful answering my questions even the stupid ones .hotchkiss actually asked me to call back and tell him how it all worked out . coulnt beleave the way the guy at magnum crap talked to me just that alone and the thousand dollars Im out . I wouldnt buy a gumball from them

Have not seen magnum force parts fail yet, and know of at least 30 person who have their control arms, dropped spindles and k-members on their car, no problems except for one person ordered wrong on the site and parts order was corrected (buyer payed shipping cause it was the buyers fault).
I wonder if he bought it online and checked the wrong box? As for your stuck with something, did you call back nicely and talk to someone in charge, or did you call back with the east coast attitude that west coasters don't need to deal with? Either way, seems like there is more to this than what is being said. I have two sets of their controls arms and will be putting more of those parts on my other ride when the time comes, have no fear of driving their parts hard and daily.

then you don't follow the posts on them very well. i have followed posts on tube front ends for years now and over the years there have been a ton of posts here and on other mopar forums talking about magnumforce ones having cracked welds ( haven't heard much about that lately but was a problem for some time), very poor fitment and horrible geometry and handling on the street. like i said. keep that junk over there.

Ask Matt Delaney how the Magnum Force A-arms worked out for him on his 68 Charger with the Viper engine (remember? It was that beautiful silver 68 he built?)

I saw Delaney's Charger before it made the magazines. They trailered it to the shows because the front end was impossible to align and the car was not safe to drive.
