Alterkation

How many a body guys are running an alterkation frontend? Pros, cons, i just noticed that they move the wheels out 3/4 or so ob each side and i really didn't like that.How does alterkation compare to magnumforce or lrt. Just looking for opinions before we buy,thanks.

I think you should Talk to Bill Reilly I think he redesigned the control arms so they dont move the wheels out that far anymore.

heard mostly complaints about magnum force..
like cars on first pass colapse-ing the steering from the line lock...
or folding up..after an average wheelie..
fwiw...

i know alot of guys with bill alterk...and are happy..
dont know much about lrt..except whats been on here...
cheapst.

I have one on my car, it has the optional shorter A-arms which reduces the amount of the front track width. I think its about 1/4" instead of the 5/8", then I run 2.25BS wheels and the track is narrower than before. I would recommend the Alterktion and the short A-arm option. I have no complaints at all with the front end.

Another pic....

I have been 8.48 @ 160 mph, with the first generation Alterktion, on a true 10.5 slick. I will not comment on the other types of front-ends, as I don't want to get into a "Pee-Pee" match with anybody. I can tell you this, my car, at 160 mph, is INCREDIBLY stable. Bill Reilly is one of the best people that I have ever dealt with, when it comes to customer service and knowledge. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me, and I will do my best to answer any questions.

Hope this helps.....

I have never seen or heard of any problems with the Magnum Force and have personally used it. The LRT is also a nice piece, but for a car that gets driven a lot, the Alter-k-tion is likely the best available. I actually plan on installing one of Bills units in a project car we are working on.

I haver a alterkation on my car. I narrowed my own arms 3/4" love it.

Thanks guys, i will be calling Bill monday.

We just got an Alterkation and like it......Bill has been great to work with!

Have it for my 70 Cuda and 69 Valiant, love it I got it when he said, had to get my money back from another company, months went by and nothing

I have been as fast as 181 mph with 2 fingers on the steering wheel.
1st generation setup in a 72 Dart.

i dont have an A body but a f-body with one and i love it.drive straight everytime.well design item

Also, the install is so easy, even a caveman can do it

What is the weight difference between the Alterkation and the MagnumForce suspensions?

Jesse, we installed the Bob's Pro Fab. front end under Donald's Dart, it is a very nice piece as well. When I purchased the Barracuda it had the Magnumforce front end and the car drove great. The AlterKtion would be my choice for street/strip car but for an all out race car I'll buy another from Bob.
