MMW Flat plate a Arms

Hi all,

Has anyone had issues with using MMW plate arms on a Porterbuilt V6 dropmember? The dropmember is definitely NOT the issue. The top arms seems fine but the bottoms are where the problems have been. First problem was the metal bushing tube that is welded to the arm was too narrow and had 1/2" gaps between the bushings and the socket where they bolt into the dropmember. The other issue is the truck will not lay out on 28" tires. The bag is fully compressed before the frame touches the ground? Has anyone else had these issues?? I have been trying to get straight answer from MMW but not much luck?

I thought the newer versions of the Dropmember needed to use Porterbuilt arms. I could be wrong though.

Re: MMW Flat plate a Arms

I believe your correct but Not according to MMW.... Taylor @ MMW has told me all along that these will work with V6 dropmember but I am starting to doubt him. It has been one problem after another. He wanted me to send him the upper bag brackets off of the dropmember for him to modify to try to make them work?
