Is a dropmember worth it for a 5/8 static drop.?
Looking at the nolimit and porterbuilt wideride/dropmembers.
I'm running the original 6cyl three-on-the-tree right now and down the road will go for an LS/tremec swap. I want the truck to handle. I don't want to do a lot of fabbing and messing around right now because I like keeping the truck on the road and running. NOLIMIT From what I've heard the nolimit wide ride will give me 3" more ground clearance and raises the motor 1". I'm wondering if the Z-bar clutch linkage will still work or what mods will be necessary.? Also wondering if 6cyl mounts can stay where they are so I don't have to shorten another driveshaft and mess with bellhousing crossmember and clutch linkage.? Does anyone have any direct experience with this.? PORTERBUILT I'd like to know if level 1 or level 2 porterbuilt dropmember would be equivalent to 5" front drop.? I've been told that level 1 dropmember only gains 1" of ground clearance so it does not seem worth it..? It also moves engine back 1" (or so I have been told) so again may have clutch linkage/bellhousing crossmember issues. Couple pics of the engine mounts and linkage here. Any answers of experience with this would be appreciated...
