Liberty Walk’s Challenger Kit puts “width” on a wide body

For much of the decade, Liberty Walk has been making dramatic widebody kits for Dodge Challengers. Although muscle cars in the U.S. have been replaced by controversial electric chargers, Japanese tuners are still selling kits for discontinued models and have recently installed them in the Challenger R/T.

So if you want a Dodge that is similar to the Hellcat’s widebody but can’t afford it, this might be your alley. The kit includes upgrades to the front, side and rear of the car. The most obvious change in the classic Liberty Walk fashion is the assembly of bolted fender flares that make the challenger look more purposeful, like a suitable wide system. These arches are wider than the OEM Challenger’s body, although they are not body-colored, but are done in black.

This particular Challenger R/T also comes with the optional front lip of the Liberty Walk. Like a fender flare, the lips seem to screw into the original front bumper and complement the rest of the wild look. A rear, ducktail spoiler has also been added to complete the external changes.

To maximize the visual impact of any challenger equipped with a widebody kit, Liberty Walk recommends owners add an air suspension kit to allow the car’s ride height to fall to the floor. Even so, Japanese companies would not have done it without a set of custom wheels.

In this case, these rims are 20 inches wide and 12 inches of fat at the rear. In Pirelli Zero tires, they are neatly stuffed under the arch when the air suspension is lowered. Obviously, driving a challenger as low as everyday use is not practical, but it is ideal when parked in a garage or car show.
