Dont tell Strange you plan on running them on the
street... they will say NO... cant do that.... I
have them on my Rampage street/strip car... but its
a full tube chassis

man i was real close to doing that before i went with a new tube k-member. i know i could make it work, but knowing my dart will retire as a full time street car someday, i was a little uncomfortable with the limited amount of travel from the strange struts. if you do it, post away with the picts.

When I asked about them they said they quit making them
due to not many sold... the last chassis I built for
a customer I used them on it since it was a street/strip
car but that was 2 years ago... it was 2 years ago
when I asked(was gonna use them on the Rampage)
