Default Strut tower brace

Has anyone installed a strut tower brace. If so where did you locate one for the D? I thought about getting the Billet one for a challenger or charger and modding the mounts to fit the D

Haven't seen anything out there Steve... Trying to fab something up might be your best bet unless they offer something for the srt8 which may fit?

I have one on my charger and looked at what it would take to make it fit the Durango. I think you would be better off starting from scratch.

They don't use them on the gen 3 SRT8 otherwise it would be a no brainer.
I need to speak to my Fabricator friend.
I am thinking adjustable bar with quick release ends on both sides

Draw it out, take measurements, have any welding shop fab it up for you. As long as there aren't too many bends it would be fairly cheap.$300 bucks and a 12 pack go along way with those guys. I should know, I'm the only one in my family who isn't a welder. Once u get the first one done then prob $150. You probably get 10 guys just on this site.I would pay $200 for it. Paint your own? I really am trying my best to pull weight OUT of this thing and adding power. 15s in the 1/4 is not acceptable.

I would be interested also. Get it in raw material and the person could take and get powder coated to color of choice!

I'm assuming you want this for looks? I can't see where it is really going to help given I doubt anyone is autocrossing a 5000+lb SUV. I've taken corners at a decent speed, but c'mon, this is a pretty dang heavy truck...

There is actually a ton of flex in these
I had initially set up one of our members to go over to Richard petty motosports. They said they would design one off his d if he could leave it for a few days and then they would produce them for us
