Best aftermarket K-frame?

[torredcuda]

Thinking of buying an aftermarket K-frame but will keep factory torsion bar set up, mainly looking for the weight savings and added rigidity. First off is it worth it or should I just weld up the stock one and add stiffeners? Second, which one(s) are best for this?

I believe there is only one aftermarket K frame that still uses the T bars , this would be my choice if replacing the K frame . I like the positioning of the weight with T bars .
I believe QA! is the one that keeps the T bar system

I'm going to make the same swap over the winter, what I found so far is....
The QA1 K is supposed to be stiffer. There is no weight savings, but there is better under car access for starter. t-bars, oil pan. The only member I know that has one is @Shane Kelley.

I am interested to hear what the result is when you get it swapped Dodj

Cheaper to weld up the stock k frame than buying new one, assuming it is in good shape. Just need time to clean, weld, grind and paint.

I was thinking saving weight off the front end but after seeing the price for the QA1 I`ll probably just keep the stock one.

I got the QA1 on my cuda. I sold my K-member and used the money towards the QA1.

I did the QA1 front suspension with Borgeson steering box, 1.12 torsion bars, ride tech shocks etc

Haven't had the opportunity to drive it yet but it sure does look nice. Bolted right in, no issues with fit.

Even selling my old one it would still cost me $650-700 for just the K-frame. Looking at it in the car there is not much triangulation, wonder how much it actually reduces flex?

wow the prices have gone up on it. 570 is the cheapest I've seen with the 50 bucks offs.

They cost $619 bucks (recent price increase) . How is selling your old one then buying the new QA1 gonna cost you $650 to $700?

 I love how it looks and all the room it opens up. Very well built piece!

I'm still not sold on it being "better" than the stock k-frame. Although I haven't heard on any failures with the QA1 set up ( magnum force one, yes) ,I'm still concerned with weld failures etc over time.... stock is worry free and proven/sure thing in that regard.

With all the fabbed up, homebuilt stuff you run, I never would have though you would have those concerns?

Hopefully the QA1 doesn't have that issue. I also got one for my charger
