Xmas In March, Thanks To Porterbuilt.
 

After researching how to lower the front end of my truck for days, wks, and many months, I finally found the anwser in March's issue of Classic Trucks. There it was, in the tech section. An artical on their awesome crossmember. So after reading the artical and talking to Nathan, at Porterbuilt. I ordered mine. I will be installing it soon and will post more pics. Thank you, Porterbuilt.:ennyd:

Ahhhhh..... the big block Dropmember. I would like to see this one in person cause I've been talking w/Nathan about one for a while now,

Re: Xmas In March, Thanks To Porterbuilt.
 

Nice, keep the pics coming

Re: Xmas In March, Thanks To Porterbuilt.
 

Looks damn good cant get any lower than that..

Re: Xmas In March, Thanks To Porterbuilt.
 

how makes that lower controll arm?

Re: Xmas In March, Thanks To Porterbuilt.
 

Since you asked and since I have known Porter for awhile now I can saftly say you mounted it wronge. Wronge truck that is, I just went out and checked all of mine and you definetly mounted it in the wronge truck;)
Looks great! I like your rims! Any pics or the rear and what are you doing out back to match the front?

The only difference between the BBC and SBC Dropmember are the motor mount tabs on the crossmember. The BBC tabs are 3/4" taller.

It's looking killer Mike!

Re: Xmas In March, Thanks To Porterbuilt.
 

Hey man.... I pay attention (it's the only thing I can afford to do).

The visual inspect would be to verify EXACTLY where the steering shaft intersects the engine compartment vs stuff hanging off the front of the engine. It would seem I have some 1-off brackets that I want to verify the possibility of fitting/using.

Re: Xmas In March, Thanks To Porterbuilt.
 

Yes you can... :lol: So you are suppose to drag the lower arm mounts. I love the crossmember but not that idea.

Re: Xmas In March, Thanks To Porterbuilt.
 

When the rear is down, the caps won't touch the ground. When the framerails are planted, the caps will be about an inch off the ground.

Also, the use of a bumpstop will limit the components from touching the ground. :) We all know it's unsafe to have frame-rails and other suspension components contact the ground.
