My last k-member, a-arms, and motor mounts took 12-14 hours laying on my back with two helpers. Make sure that baby is as close to level as possible, I think the unevenness of the ground caused half the problem of getting the k-member back in, the other fun was getting the dipstick out of the way for the motor mount.

What brand K member are you putting in. And are you going to put coil overs on it also.

I swear spent over an hour trying to get my dipstick tube back in the hole after swapping out the headers. What a PITA. The whole tear down and install for my headers was a nightmare but it was so worth it. Ok, back to the subject at hand.

If you have a way to support the motor and trans in the car you can drop the complete k-member, a-arms, etc out of the car in one assy and then bolt the new stuff up. Shouldn't take too long

got the k-member in within 6 hours.. had a one hour lunch and a store run to replace the strut that travis broke :EVIL: but all said and done labor time was 4 hours.... i slammed the front as low as will go but need to raise it a little due to bottoming out... raise it 1/2 inch tomorrow and see what that does... now just need new springs for the back and i should be sitting pretty didnt take pics of the install but i can tell the difference in the weight and the weight transfer when i get into it.... will take it pics of the stance tomorrow its "a little raked out"

Awesome! I'm starting to like the idea of this mod also. I like how it cleans up the bottom of the car.

I passed you on Piney Green Mark and thought it looked a little lower than normal. We were in the Challenger and I saw you too late to wave.
