porterbuilt extreme front drop member installed finally
Got the dropmember installed this weekend. We did it with the motor in and I do not recomend doing that. It was a pain to work aro u nd the motor and trans but extremely happy on how it turned out. Only negative thing is I wish someone would have told me thr engine moved so far foward and up? Relocated shifter and throttle linkage and my driveshaft is too short
