They've had an inboard bag set-up that should allow 15" wide wheels??

It's a super tight fit with the current configuration. We are making a few tweaks and developing a specific kit that gives a little more breathing room at the frame.

We have three trucks in the shop that will be getting this new rear kit installed. Two are Porterbuilt Trucks and one belongs to a customer.

Here's one of the PB trucks getting the new Dropmember and 24x15 Rear Kit. The rollers are a set of Delmo Specials with black centers in 22x9 and 24x15.

**oldman3** · 10-22-2014, 07:07 PM

Now that is SICK....Jim

**lolife99** · 10-22-2014, 07:13 PM

Does the new rear kit " kick" the rear frame rails inward at the notch for tire clearance?

They fit with the current set up, however it's really tight. We are making a new notch that will narrow the rails up just a bit. Little more room is always a good thing

Thanks Jim! We are doing this same set-up on a stepper too! Won't get quite as low, but should be pretty cool.

Sorry for the newb question. but what are the differences between this new Version compared to Ver5? any advantages?

Looking to buy a complete front and rear dropmemeber, just doing my homework.

Thanks
Rick

I know this might be a dumb question but would you be able to make one of these drop members so that they'll work with the cpp tubular control arms for people that already have the tubular control arms?

Agreed.

When it comes to parts like this, it just makes sense to buy the parts are designed to work together.

YBNORML · 11-25-2014, 09:08 PM

Oh yeah, looks great Nate!

Not only that..... PB's Truck Arms have drop built into them w/better articulation & less (no?) binding.

"Delmo Specials with black centers and 24x15" WOW! I didnt know you could get it in a 24x15 too. Thats bad arse.

I just ordered a complete front and rear stage 3 dropmember setup from Porterbuilt. With the new V6 front! Can't wait to get it installed. Been in contact with Nate through my whole order process and he is top notch!
