Yeah I'd assume so lol.

Half tempted to adapt a strut to mine via brackets that the stock K member bolts pass through... that's still bolt in suspension right?

I have entertained the same thing..."bolt in" is a relatively loose term

Yes it is a lot lighter then factory stuff. It's in the 40 lbs range depending what you choose as cool over. I believe the wait time right now is early spring for one, March or April.

I agree 100%, several years ago I ordered a set of their wheelie bars. They charged my credit card in minutes but it was months before they sent me anything.

Mokid, you've got to be forthcoming about your situation. There's too many of us planning struts and need to hear your experience. Did you keep stock front frame, or go to a new front clip? Difficulty in getting it done and most importantly why would you not do it again? Thanks

I know a few guys running the HDK setup, and I know Denny, so I am biased. But it is a nice setup: http://www.moparsuspension.com/mopar-suspension-kits/a-body-front-suspension-kits-67-76.php

While the HDK kit maybe nice, it is a blatant copy RMS kit. I wouldn't purchase one for that reason.

i have the HDK in my duster.

it has a few differences than the RMS.

-upper coilover mounts are different giving you 2 inches more travel.
-Denny offers different styles for different applications.
-the lower control arms are adjustable giving you adjustable track width.

he made mine with no motor mounts or sway bar stuff since im using a motor plate.

And Denny is fantastic to deal with and is a true mopar hot rodder

No, it's not a blatant copy. Similar maybe, exact copy....NO. It's a K-member for a Mopar. Of course they are similar........they are all similar because they all do the same thing and bolt in the same place. How could they not be similar

They are NOT all similar especially the one in 67darts compared to mine,and by God none of the 2 i just mentioned are like that magnum force thing that looks like it belongs on a military vehicle.
Happy New year.
