Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
So after seeing what a difference a porterbuilt dropmember does, and how bad ass his work is, i took the plunge and ordered one too. I also ordered his control arms too. I already put 2.5 drop spindles on, pocketed the lower control arms and still wasn't enough. It's too bad i did all this work just to rip everything out and pull the motor just to get another 2 inches. But the last 2 are the most important as you can see from the pics.

Here's a couple pics of a Stepper running the Dropmember Mild coilover version up front. Stage 2 Rear Deluxe with coilovers out back.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
A little update on mine, I mounted up my Intros today and set the frame down for the first time. It is sitting on the tranny pan in this pic. I have a deep pan, going to have to go back to a stock pan.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I can see if I can get some specs. It's being built by a local builder,mainly known for custom bikes... Jesse Rooke.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Was hoping that wasn't the case for the rear, since I don't want to raise the bed, but the mild step may leave me enough depth in the bed. I think that stance would be worth it. Thanks for the help and info!

The new Dropmembers looks like a bio-mechanical style.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Quick question, When I lay frame how far will the body be from the ground? will I need a body drop kit to lay it on the ground also? I know PB makes the kit, just planning ahead so I can get it all done at once when I have the body off for paint.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Another quick dumb question, Will the tubular trailing arm crossmember accept the factory trailing arms, until I can afford to get the PB Trailing arms (3" drop)?
