Missing something for my porterbuilt setup??
So I already have the crossmember and trailing arms from nate. I'm wondering what keeps the rear end from spinning, I'm guessing the u bolts don't exactly accomplish that. I also have a panhard bar from qar and will be running bags over axle. I believe I need more than just shocks to complete my setup. Help please! Thanks

Sounds like shocks are all that's left.

Re: Missing something for my porterbuilt setup??
Your axle should have perches... If not, you'll need to weld them on! If it's for the truck in your avatar, you most likely have a leaf spring set up. If your switching to the trailing arms, you will need to mount the correct perches under the axle for the TA's to properly mount. UNLESS... Nate designed it to be used with the factory perches on a leaf spring set up!

There should be a mounting pad welded to the bottom side of the axle tube that the trailing arms bolt up against. If you don't have any, get in touch and I can get you a set!
