K member spacers
I've seen these for foxbodys but never for F-body, anyone hear of or use them? Custom made of course.

Re: K member spacers
Are you confusing metal creep with the creep seen in thick glass over longer periods of time?
Most of the metal in our frame/unibody/suspension components is ambient temperature and allows creep strain to be ignored or negligible at best. If you are finding cracks in your vehicle's body it is most likely due to a portion of the frame not being braced properly, IE under the steering box.

Re: K member spacers
The reason the mustang guys use them is for taller motors like the 5.0 to 5.8,
esp the 4.6 to 5.4 swap.

Re: K member spacers
If you reduce the surface area then you increase the load on what is left

Re: K member spacers
So you like your stock hood better than a car that handles correctly? Guess what I should ask is how much do you plan on lifting the body? Is it a drag car?

Re: K member spacers
Why do I need a drag car to handle?

Re: K member spacers
You don't that's why I asked if it was a drag car because if your building anything but a drag car these spacers are a terrible idea
