I looked at some pics of the alter k and it does appear to have short shocks on it...Question is, why did they not extend that reinforced mount for the top shock up higher some to get a longer shock in there? It seems there is plenty of room.
It also got my wondering about converting to coilovers without a rack or aftermarket k. Couldn't one fab up that same type of bracket, from some decent gauge steel, and create their own mount for a coilover shock that does not use the stock body mount? Obviously you are only gaining the loss of torsion bars and the switch to coilovers and nothing else, but I wonder if if could be done and work or if anyone has done it???
