anyone using porterbuilt coilover setup?

i think I'm going to go with a porterbuilt front and rear setup. I have bags now, just trying to decide if I want to go with the bag or coilover setup. I like the way my truck sits now but I would like to see some pics of how low it will sit on the porterbuilt with coilover. anyone have any pics of a 60-66 with the coilovers?

Kind of mute point... if the coils are adjustable the the ride height would be adjustable.
Mine on PB bags ride height.

Re: anyone using porterbuilt coilover setup?

What are you trying to accomplish by going from bags to coilovers? Better handling?

I would enjoy the better handling, but mainly I guess less complication and less to worry about and more room under the truck for fuel tank exhaust etc. just tossing around ideas of what I want to do on the next build on the truck.

Check out the '66 build in my signature. It's the new coil over setup from QA1. Killer killer stuff. I had a bagged '72 with all PB bagged parts. They build great stuff. But coil over stuff is QA1's game imo
