For our cars they offer the aluminum pucks to replace the 4 rubber ones that are sandwich in between the k member and the frame...they also offer a package called the rear isolation delete kit...which removes the rubber that is sandwiched in between the leaf spring...I got both of those kits for my car because I was tired of the swaying boat ride on the freeway...can't wait to drive it again I have the rear done and can't wait to do the front...they offer poly bushing sets and more...

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Rick Ehrenberg, Tech Editor of Mopar Action Magazine, installed a set of these on his A-38 (cop package) 1978 Monaco. His report:[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"Amazing! Since this setup ties the frame 'prongs' (longitudinal's) together, instead of allowing them to virtually flap in the breeze, the entire car feels - and IS - much more rigid. Now the K-member can do what it was originally designed to do - cross-brace the entire front end of the car. Not only is handling markedly better, road feel and wander incredibly improved, even squeaks and rattles are way down. Now it feels like a well set-up A-body sedan on steroids. Highly recommended. And, if you can believe this, this setup works even better on F, J, and M-bodies. If you've got one of those creatures, be it an Aspen R/T, Mirada CMX, or Dippy cop car, etc., don't even think about tackling the twisties without one of Firm Feel's setups."[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Aluminum Sub frame Isolators, for F.M.J.

They do have some great parts. I plan on a few things for my B Body and looking at stuff for my Early A. I hope to find a Aspen 2 Dr. after I move. I had one right out of the Army with a 318 4 speed OD

I like the idea that they've done the K-frame isolators. No more scouring the junk yards looking for cast iron ones.

Eric, you mentioned in another thread about the boat ride and trying to eliminate it.

When the old rubbers get like the ones on yours, it gets even worse.

 

[old tired rebel]

Eric did you get rid of the Iso Clamps on your F body?

They are good for FMJ bodies..

They are good for FMJ bodies..

Late B Bodies use the same system. Though I think there is a small difference between the b and F,M,J bodies

Here's a better pic of the bottom plate and u-bolts I have one of the top spacer and stud when I find it I will add it...

 

[old tired rebel]

Looks like it a little smaller than mine. I will takes some pictures and post them.

 

[Badasspen]

Is there any way to just use standard abody 8.75 shock plates?

 

[res1vw21]

yep they fit fine, thats what I did.

 

[Badasspen]

Cool thats what I thought. What about leaf springs? A or B body? I'm thinkin B.

 

[res1vw21]

The new front hangers are set up to take your standard E body springs though you could probably use your super stock ones.

where does your shock bolt to?

 

[MiradaMegacab]

where does your shock bolt to?

If you look at the pick in post #10, the shock bolts to the upper plate thats between the axle housing and the leaf spring. The shock has a stud as the bottom point of attachment and eyelet at the top. Post #1 has an exploded view diagram of this.
