12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build

It looks like the lower shock mounts are pretty low on the LCA's too. I like that since it seems it would allow for a longer coilover shock and more suspension travel. When I converted mine with stock LCA's, I ended up raising the upper mount. In hind site, I should've thought about lowering the lower mount. I'll be curious what your takeaways from the swap are!

The amount of drop in the suspension travel on the HDK is limited buy the length of the UCAs, moving the ball joint(s) outward allows additional travel. It is a trade off, more travel or keeping the wheels / tires tucked in. I find 99% of HDK customers find 5 (plus) inches a good compromise. Of course with adjustable ends on both LCAs and UCAs, if more travel is needed, simply adjust the control arms outward.

While a big advantage of the HDK over the others is being able to utilize a longer travel shock while keeping your tires tucked. Also check out the hardware....grade 8 bolts, shocks that ride on shoulder of the bolt, not the threads, and let me mention over the counter (non modified) spindles utilizing automotive, greaseable / serviceable tie rod ends. BTW, one K fits all. Tim will breath a sigh of relief when he swaps to his Gen III, even the OEM A/C compressor will bolt right up.

HDKs lower OEM collapsible shaft replacement assembly with lower bearing makes swaps, installs, and removal a breeze

The HDK may not be for everyone, but it can be a nice option.
