MAPP gas definitely puts out more heat, although it may not work well with
torches designed only for propane.

However, I'd suggest caution on suspension components, as it will easily
heat them hot enough to affect their temper.  If you manage to anneal
something that should be hardened, or worse yet harden something that should
be annealed, you may not be happy with the results !
