bagged and body droppped questions
Hey guys
Its been a long time since I've been here because I've been working on a roadrunner as the c10 was done. However now that the roadrunner is coming to completion I am wanting to bag my 72. I have a spare frame and was thinking of cutting that up and just transfering all the parts over. Looking to lay frame/rockers Is porterbuilt still king of the hill for suspension? Is there other options? Looking for alternatives to cutting into the cab for laying rockers.

Re: bagged and body droppped questions
I still consider Porterbuilt the king of C10 suspension.
He also has a watts link setup. So many choices. From mild to extreme drops in both bags and coil over suspensions, with or without bolt on body drops. His products are alway improving in design and ease of customer installation. Their current version of their dropmember no longer requires a frame notch for the rack. And their exrtreme rear bag setup for 67-72 trucks is now a true complete bolt on with no brackets to weld. Call pbfab and leave a message. They will call you back. There are no longer dealers for their products. You get everything straight from them. The only thing I will add, I see resale value on all the high dollar trucks, have Porterbuilt products. Not knocking the other companies, they make quality products too, but I would spend my money with Nate Porter. Plus he's a member/vendor here.

Re: bagged and body droppped questions
I thought the body drop kit will only get you to pinch. Rockers will take another inch or so.
