Porterbuilt Stage 2 rear deluxe questions

[Calvin D.]

I have the Porterbuilt Stage 2 Rear Deluxe version which Im about to install on my 69 GMC short bed stepside with leaf springs and I noticed my rear end don't have the U bolt nest assembly mounting brackets on each end of my axle tube. I was wonder if Porterbuilt or someone make the brackets to weld to my rear end to mount the U bolts that came the kit.

Also once I install the C notch will there be any clearance issues with the wooden bed. The C notch bolts seem to stick up a little higher then the rivets that are originally on the frame, or will the bed rest on top of the C notch bolts I attached a pic of the bracket on a rear from the Porterbuilt site showing the bracket Im missing on my rear end tube.

thanks in advance

The axle pads are available from Porterbuilt for the trailing arms. Your bed will clear the notch, as there is a gap between the bed floor and frame which will allow for the notch and the bolt heads.

Thanks Travis

Will the have to be welded to the axle if so that's no problem and do you have a pic of them on your site

[Pro Performance]

Yes, they will need to be welded to the axle and the old leaf spring ones removed. I don't have a picture, but they basically looks like these below. THey will be similar to your leaf spring pads, but be at an angle and located differently for the trailing arms.

Yeah Travis that's what I will need put me down for a pair I will get with you Monday and place the order. I'm just trying to address any issues that I can before I get started I kept looking at the bolts and was wondering if the bed would sit on the bolts after the C notch are installed.
