I think I have narrowed it down to either the Cobra kit or the Viper brackets from Dr Diff. They are going on a 70 Satellite that is going to end up a cloned Superbird. This is going to be a low to medium budget build, Suspension plans are reinforced K frame, boxed lower arms, QA1 upper arms, sway bar and Torsion bars up front with QA1 springs and sway bar out back and QA1 shocks all around. And a Firm Feel Stage II steering box with Quick ratio Pitman and Idler arms. Any big reason I should go with one over the other? It seems the Viper kit will be a little cheaper, as I can re-use my drum brake knuckles. Am I missing anything? 99 Ram 2500 QCSB V-10 Stepside 72 Magnum Marine 27' Twin 5.9 Magnums 70 A-100 Sportsman /6 67 Coronet R/T 440 66 Charger 470 53 Plymouth Suburban flathead T-5

Price out replacement components and see if that makes a difference to you. We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind. - Stu Harmon
