DOES THE HDK SUSPENSION K-MEMBER HANDLE BETTER THAN A T-BAR SUSPENSION?
I can see that. For that, it seems right.
Again, I may be expecting too much after dealing with the strength and durability of the stock stuff.
I'm a retired Carpenter that worked most of my life building houses and schools up to Bay Area earthquake standards. What I was trained to build would be grossly OVERbuilt for Colorado, Texas or Michigan. I'm talking thicker lumber, more reinforcements, blocking, metal straps, everything possible. THEN I retired and helped a few times on remodel work for friends and was shocked at how poorly built some 50-100 year old houses are...yet they are still standing today despite lacking the very reinforcements I thought were necessary.
This has led to some "questioning" of methods and procedures I've followed with other things.
Don't use drugs, you'll get hooked.
Don't have unprotected sex, you'll get her pregnant the first time.
My point?
Maybe I've been led to believe that we needed all that extra mass just to hold it all together but maybe it could have been revised to cut weight without being detrimental to durability.
