Porter vs Choppin vs RS vs NoLimit crossmember?? Bag recommendations
Hey 67-72,
I don't have much of my truck on here, mostly just a lurker. I'm looking to swap out my whole front end. (suspension,brakes,crossmember, steering) I currently have a CPP modular spindle, 1" spring, arms, 500 box, CPP swaybar, and CPP big brake kit. Truck is basically ~3.5/6" drop on 28.8" tires. Truck handles the mountain roads really well. Sucker stays planted nicely. So you might think, "what's the problem"? Spindle grooved from a bad bearing Howling noises have started again Kinda over the drilled/slotted rotors, noisy groans Freeway is a pleasure, streets are too eF'ed to enjoy the truck, terrible ride Steering can be better, looking at R&P Instead of addressing all the little things that bother me, I'm just going to swap out the whole crossmember for new stuff. I would like to go airbag all around, but not for dropping, hopping, dragging, or any of that nonsense ![]() I just want a nicer ride. I want the same stance I have now. I don't want to lose handling, I really really push the truck as often as I can. I always pictured myself running coilovers in the future cause I want the best handling, but find myself not driving the truck as often as I'd like because the roads are so bad. I'm hoping the bags help. I am running the CPP trailing arms out back. I wouldn't mind bags out there too. Again, for a smoother ride and to help handle heavy loads. What front crossmember is going to give me the best handling with bag option? Good caster, move wheels forward, accepts an LS, R&P, etc etc. Any other options I'm not covering? I'm also not fond of running the CPP spindle and hub setup. I'm not having good luck with it. NoLimit ![]() Roadster Shop ![]() PorterBuilt ![]() Choppin Block ![]()
