Rapom's Rocket - just another Duster build thread
That's right, take the easy way out. Why all the changes up front?
I'm replacing the stock LCA's with tubulars to pick up some more wheel travel. With my ride height I'm down to about 1" of clearance to the frame, even with the super thin button style poly bump stop. I don't bottom out much, but it does happen occasionally even with the 1.12" bars. Anyway, it's not necessary but I picked up a set of the QA1 LCA's because they actually give you about an extra inch of travel. And I gusseted this set, so no issues like I had with the ones I had from CAP on my Challenger. What I
should have done was raise the car up a 1/4" and never worried about it again, but what I'm doing is replacing the LCA's and rolling the fender lips so I can lower it another 1/4" to 1/2" instead.
The UCA's are only getting replaced because I'm going to use the non-adjustable tubular arms on my Dart. I've gone back and forth a bunch on what wheels I was going to run on my GT, but I've come to the conclusion that I will probably end up running a wide enough front rim that I might need tubular UCA's instead of the stock UCA's with offset bushings. Anyway, since I was in the market for tubular UCA's again I bought the double adjustable arms for the Duster, since it's the more radical set up. The Dart GT will get the non-adjustable arms so I can run whatever wheels I end up deciding on. I was originally just going to run cop rims on the Dart, but even on just a driver I want to run tires that actually have traction and at least 245's, and since I know myself it'll probably end up being 255's on 9" wide rims, so, tubular UCA's just in case.
It's a crap load of work for what amounts to not much difference, but there you have it.
