Re: No Limit or PorterBuilt or What?

A static drop frame is were the frame itself is lowered, not by means of shortened springs or suspension parts.

My kit came with a 5 lug option, I believe most do. The most common 5 lug bolt pattern is 5x5. But some offer 5x4.75 and other sizes. My kit also came with disc brake options. That seems to be standard on almost all of them. (I don't think I've ever seen an aftermarket suspension with drums). If you're going to stick with 15 inch wheels, make sure you don't get the drums too big. (13 and 14 inch disc's don't play well with 15 inch wheels). Also remember, if you want all four wheels to look the same, you'll have to put 5 lug axles on the rear to match.
My kit came with a rack and pinion power steering option. So the stock power steering box doesn't work with it.
I'm with you on the raked look. I know the current trend is to put the rear in the weeds, but I prefer the "jacked up in the rear" look.

This is where the engine cradle and motor mounts sit, so it you're thinking of going to a big block or LS.. this is the time to decide.
