Porterbuilt- Weld-in Notch- Free Shippping- Till March 31
Hey guys, I finally got around to getting my weld-in notches all finalized. It's a "mostly welded" weld-in notch, and I have two versions: 63-72; and 73-87.
As pictured they will lay frame with up to a 32" tall tire. If you're running a smaller diameter tire, or not quite wanting it so deep, you can trim it down to fit, or I can build them shorter. Below are some pics of both versions. They come as pictured, including the ground and finished edges. The "Mostly Welded" notch kit runs $299, and the "Unwelded" notch kit (pieces only) runs $175. I will be throwing in free shipping anywhere inside the continental U.S. until the end of March.

Re: Porterbuilt Weld-in Notch
I don't work quite as quick as you do! I guess it's because I am human, and have to get more than 3 hrs. of sleep a week!

Re: Porterbuilt Weld-in Notch
Nate,
Do these come with instructions on where to weld them in? I have never done this and i am going to do it. I was going to purchase the bolt on system, but if these come with instructions on where to place them to weld them, i know an awesome welder that could get it done for me. Options are always great and if i can save a few bucks in the process, even better. |

Re: Porterbuilt Weld-in Notch
Quote:
When locating the center-line of the axle (and thus centerline of the notch) I have found that the original bumpstop's centerline is about as close to the center of the wheel arch as you need to get. I use that as a centerline reference. With that said, here's the tricky part: depending on whatever link system you are using to locate the rear-end, the length of your link bars will follow an arc and thus locate the center-line of the axle in different locations as it goes through its travel. I like to set the axle to where its centerline is centered in the wheel well opening when deflated (if running an adjustable suspension). That way it looks "right" when everybody is taking pictures of it at the show! It takes some careful measurements, but isn't overly complicated. Just take your time, measure several times before cutting/welding... and several more times before you fully weld them up. I am happy to answer any questions that may arise. I know that a lot of the time it's easier to "talk" someone through a process, rather than "type" the way through it.

Re: Porterbuilt- Weld-in Notch- Free Shippping till March 31st
Nate..... How 'tall' is the actual boxed section of frame? By that I mean just the frame rail & not 'how tall is the notch'. If the question is confusing, call me.
