ok i dropped my stock kmember today and went to install my profab kmember and found lots of things that concern me and i have a few questions

i see only 1 bolt on each side to bolt it to the body is the right length now the others are way to long...and then i see the motor mounts bolts wont screw into the k member so im going to need nuts behind the bolts...question here is what kind of bolts to get? are grade 8 enough or i need something else?

also i see there are tabs that are on the oem k member for the brake lines where the rubber and pre bent lines come together .. these tabs arent on the tubular k member....what do i do here?

and then the brake lines that run from the abs module across the k member to the passengeside brakes theres nothing to hold them....what did you do there?

any help would be greatly appreciated as im kinda at an impass here...

thanks alot guys

I used alot of zip ties to hold the brake lines. And made brackets that I welded to the K member to mount the brake line at the hose. Grade 8 bolts are perfect. And then I took my car to the alignment shop and discovered my pro-fab K member wouldn't align by 2 degrees of camber on the left side. Hoping to pick up my PA racing K member tomorrow.
Hope you have better luck than me!

 

Are you using stock or aftermarket adjustable a-arms on that pro-fab?
