Nice truck.

I generally measure from the ground up to the middle of the fender.

We can measure an old worn out factory truck that might or might not be sitting at it's original height.... this could end up being a little misleading. Not to fear, we have a solution!

We have found it best to reference a specific point on the truck to measure from... and call that "ride height". We take a measurement from the bottom of the frame under the front cab mount to the ground and reference this measurement. It can then be compared to the customers truck and they will know how much drop or lift it will have compared to their current height... make sense? We also take a measurement from the bottom side of the frame under the rear cab mount.

On this truck, he is running a 26.3" tall tire and a 2.5" McGaughy's drop spindle up front. The bottom of the frame to ground measurement under the front cab mount is right at 6". Throw a Touring DM on there and it will be at 5". Change the tire size and it will vary the height as well.

A popular combo up front would be a 28" tall tire and a CPP 2" drop spindle... with this combination it would raise the front measurement another 1.5" but fill the wheel well up a little nicer.

Another thing to keep in mind, is that when going to a Touring Dropmember, it may be necessary to modify or go to a replacement inner fender well.

On the rear he is running a 28.5" tall tire and the bottom of the frame to ground measurement is 8". He has right at 3" before his axle bottoms out in the notch.

Hope that helps clarify the drop it has... I know it's a longer way to describe it, but much more accurate when making comparisons.

Hi Nate,

Do you have any pictures of this truck completed?

Does the 4-link coilover rear have the same ride height as the coilover trailing arm setup?

Pretty sure this is what you're looking for.

Yes. The four-link and trailing arm set-up have the same ride height.

Thank you, but I was looking for pictures of the truck completed with hood and front end etc...just to get a better visual. Not a huge deal, I've already ordered the Mild Coilover / Trailing Arm Coilover and I'm just trying to get a visual and run numbers on wheel/tire setups. Naturally, I'm not going to order anything until it's all put together...it's just something to look into until the parts arrive. I can't seem to find very many pictures of this exact setup on completed trucks.

I'm really hoping for little/no wheel gap.

Hey Nate,

Do you have any pictures of a coilover trailing arm setup?

Possibly looking for a set up run for auto cross.

Thanks

Sonoma10714 · 08-27-2014, 02:22 AM

Shoot me your email and I can send you some of mine. I have the mild, coilover rear with trailing arms and the touring front..

Cool thank you sir. It looks like a well built kit.

Is the kit a bolt in set-up or is welding required?

Thanks

chase@ridetech · 02-04-2015, 10:50 AM

Great looking stuff!

C10_ustacould · 03-07-2015, 10:36 PM

Hey PBFAB peeps, are the same coilovers and spring rates used on the mild, touring, and extreme drops? Just different mounting locations?

Chase, I'll be hitting you all up when it comes time to tune this thing for some roadcourse action. I'm sure I'll need some tips and tricks. Checkout my instagram, I # you all everytime I post pics of the chassis.

ekgguy · 10-11-2016, 08:58 PM

I know this is an old thread, but I was hoping one of the PBFAB folks or someone would chime in and help me with part numbers or information on the crossmembers for the coilovers shown in the picture.

I need to move my coilovers inboard for tire clearance issues and this looks like the perfect setup.
