  • Charger Widebody Conversion kit worth it? There has been some problems with the widebody kit & here is how it has held up after 6 months. Many Charger Scatpack, Hellcat & R/T owners are looking into the widebody conversion from Vicrez or Ikon to help give them that new Charger Widebody look. I will confirm this one of the better decision I've made on this channel, but the Widebody Conversion did have it's drawbacks.

    I ended up doing the vicrez kit and have been so happy about it. The only thing I need to finish it now are the wheels and tires. I know you have the regular wide body wheels but from my understanding you are RWD so your stock offset is around +15-25. If I am AWD and my offset on my wheels are +55, would a +15 wheel work in my case and fill up the wheel well?

    • @RTLife
      @RTLife  2 года назад +1

      If you're lowered, make sure you cut the fenders or go back to stock ride height. The flares added to the 392/hellcat body style looks great. You're going to like the wider more aggressive stance.

    RT LIFE take that 8HP70 transmission out and try the 8HP95 that comes in the Trackhawk cause you're at a point now where you are making way too much power for that stock transmission to handle. The stock transmission can only hold up to about 500 hp that is why you're feeling it seems to slip.Im not quite sure how much horsepower the 8HP95 transmission can handle but it is able to handle way more than the 8HP70. Now you may have known this stuff already but I just wanted to give you some insight on this as an option that may be helpful. Great build keep doing your thing with big blue.

    As far as the transmission, doing the Hellcat swap, make sure you get the driveshaft too. If I remember right, the Hellcat tranny is longer and you will need a shorter driveshaft.

      Nahh you're not alone. As soon as I saw the wider stance I wanted it. Just my personal taste

    The diy widebody kit just doesn't come close to oem

      I think it comes very close. Before the turbos this kit was almost perfect. Body lines, gaps etc.

      I don't think so. Trade in a fully built 6.5L 397 would be such a stupid move
