Anybody running the RMS AlterKation? Was it really worth the cost?

100% valid and fair point.

This one is pure opinion...but for me, at some point a modification that changes a fundamental characteristic of a car loses the essence of what defined the car. The suspension layout is one of those things that (in my opinion) defines Mopars of this era.

Making the stock style suspension better is fine...switching it out for something that affects every moment of the driving experience that could easily be in a Chevy Nova or Ford Maverick just changes things a bit too much to still call it a Mopar A-body.

Would a convertible Duster still be a Duster? Would a Barracuda with a diesel engine still be a Barracuda? Is a Valiant with a monster truck 4x4 setup really still a Valiant?

Where you draw the line is a personal preference, of course.

If only Plato was here to explain the universal platonic form of a Mopar. he could clear this up. :D

I completely understand and respect your position, and the position of others like this. I think the point is that we all (or most of us) draw the line somewhere. For me, suspension, rear axle, and even transmission are all fair game. My line is the engine. That's the heart of the car. As long as it's some form of Mopar, no matter how highly modified, I'm good. LS conversions and other makes are completely out. I don't wanna see 'em, and I have a hard time appreciating or respecting the mentality it requires to undertake such a swap.
