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
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)?

Answer is yes. The factory trailing arms will bolt right into our trailing arm crossmember. Nate

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Random question, how are you guys keeping framing scratching your frame up when you air out? Are you mounting some sort of stop on the bottom of your frame rails? I'm going to be running the extreme dropmembers on mine so just curious. Thanks

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
ok one more question, If I order the adj trac bar and later order the 3" drop trailing arms will the lower end of the trac bar mount directly to the trailing arm or will I have to use the lower bracket / modify the trailing arms or bracket.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
The adjustable track bar has a different length panhard bar than what is used when running the tubular trailing arms. If you are planning on buying tubular arms, it is best to purchase them the same time as the trac bar.
