Porterbuilt Stage 1 pics 67-72

[Frijolito1988]

Hey guys, I think im decided to do the Porterbuilt Stage 1 on my 68 SWB , with drop spindles , although im not 100 % sure yet if I am doing the C notch.

Do you guys have pictures of this set up ? I see alot of pics of Porterbuilt trucks but alot seems to be C notched and have the higher end kits..

Also what should I be looking for in a compressor ? Which one do you guys recommend ?

Here's some pictures of my 72 with front and rear Porterbuilt Stage 1 kits. No notch and stock spindles & arms. Top picture is before with stock springs - middle is aired up, bottom is aired out. No compressor yet, but when I get to that point I'll do Pro Performance's manual air management kit: http://www.azproperformance.com/1-4-...ement-Kit.html
If you have any other questions, let me know! - Matt

Matt - Is the middle ride height or max lift? I'm on the fence about it getting too low for me (and I'm aware that its subjective and likely to change later) but really like the idea of bags for ride quality, mild lowering and still hauling on occasion.

That Pro Performance kit looks pretty sweet, likely the route I'd go.

The first/top picture is before I did any work. The stock springs are still in place in those pictures.

The Stage 1 kits are installed in the middle and bottom pictures. The middle it's aired all the way up - about 80 psi in the front and 50 psi in the back. It's pretty stiff to ride at this height and it's actually about an inch higher than stock.

The bottom pictures are aired all the way out - 0 psi.

Ride height is somewhere in the middle - I'm running 50-60 psi in the front and 20-30 psi in the back. Here's a picture from the Cruise In that's at ride height.

Race - Yes - I was on air at the Cruise In. I'm running schrader valves at the moment so I didn't want to drop it without a close source of compressed air.
