Does anyone know if Bobs Pro Fab is still building front suspensions? I found a Bobs Pro Fab on facebook but not sure if its the same one who used to be here on moparts. I believe he advertised on here with a Duster pulling a wheelie with Bobs Pro Fab on the k-member.

That is the route I would go as well. I had planned go that route over the winter then I got derailed and bought a 6.4 Hemi I might never use eyes

I have an Alterkation on the wagon , its ok but, for the price there is nicer ones on the market


http://www.moparsuspension.com/torsion-bar-eliminator.html the HDK one looks nice


I put a Gerst on the 67 before he sold out to QA1 ..its really nice and Carl was great to deal with

A friend of mine has an HDK on his 68 Barracuda. It is an older unit but it has very little travel in the front suspension, the car sits nice and drives nice but has very little up travel left even at the low ride height. I believe that has changed now but its worth double checking.

Holt has converted some SS/AH cars over to R&P, now that it's legal. Slightly different, as they must still retain the factory torsion bars.

I have Tory Shellhammers setup on my car. It's a drag only suspension IMO. I don't think he intended it to be street driven if that is a possibility.

Do they use a press or screw in lower ball joint typically?
