Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?
 

I'm trying to get an idea of just how low the stage 1 porterbuilt ($365 relatively cheap) kit. Front and rear. Can anyone just drop some pics here of stage 1? :ito:

Here is the same truck, posted in the link above, but with the addition of 2.5" drop spindles.

Yes! :metal: that's the exact stance I need!!!

We are a Porterbuilt dealer, so let us know when you're ready, and I will get you all setup.

Here's a Stage 1 Front with Stage 2 Rear Basic.

Re: Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?
 

That's the air'd out stance.
Driving stance will be much higher.

I'm really digging the porterbuilt stage 1 all around, the stage 2 rear is amazing as well but a little out of my budget (I'm 17). I think the stage 1 with drop spindles up front and lowering blocks in the back will get me as low as I want. I don't want to drop frame but I want the fender to go over the tire (if that makes sense). :metal:

danitodanny- Make sure you know that the lowered pics are of the truck aired out all the way. You will NOT be able to use this as your ride height, as lolife99 has pointed out.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh I see now. Damn, that kinda bummed me out! :( drive height would be like what then? Stock????

Re: Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?
 

Ride height, with 2.5" drop spindles, would be similar to a 4.5" Frt /5" Rr static drop.

Re: Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?
 

So I'm guessing I have to do major modifications to drive it at that height?

Re: Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?
 

Correct.

Re: Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?
 

I'm guessing that means the famous drop member doesn't it? lets say im only able to afford a front or rear drop member but not both, will it look awkward stance? Like the front WAY lower than the rear vice versa? (Sorry for all the questions guys I'm a rookie here) :waah:

Re: Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?
 

The lower you want to go, the more time/money/effort it is. The more work you do yourself, the more you will save, but to get a low stance with quality parts, Porterbuilt is for sure the way to go. It's cheapest to do it all at once, so decide how low and build it.

Re: Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?
 

I agree.... It is best to do both at once.

Re: Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?
 

Thank you guys

Re: Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?
 

nice stance like it

Re: Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?
 

Can I put a picture up of where I want my ride height and you tell me what I need to do to get there?

Re: Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?
 

That will make it easy. ;)

Re: Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?
 

I want this height and be able to drive it, but since its not bodied to the floor I figured they weren't using your drop member. Any help?

Re: Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?
 

They are running our Stage 2 front and Stage 2 Deluxe rear kit on that truck.

Nate

Re: Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?
 

So with that setup Nate ill be able to drive at that height? (Again sorry for all questions, I just really want to get an understanding on the ballpark range of $$ I'm going to need for this, thank you for responding to all my questions though :metal: )

Re: Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?
 

They are driving down the road in that pic. It will be on the "lower" end of the ride height spectrum (in regards to travel and clearance) but definitely doable.

On the website there is no "stage 2" front
