Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Mine is a '78 with 255/35/20 up front. A/C didn't fit. With a little modification it might though, it's close.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I'm running it with coilovers for that reason. Plus air management cost and complexity.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I was thinking about calling it the Version: "Stop wasting my time changing things and move on to another product already". But felt that it didn't roll off the tongue very well.
![]() This will just be known as the Dropmember (technically it's the 5th design version and incorporates a few touches from each of the previous ones along with a few added features).... I am done tweaking and changing things... for now. ![]() I am extremely pleased with this one... the new equipment has really been paying off. Nate

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Which years will that be for? Looks like it might allow more exhaust clearance for the trifives.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
This design is used for all our current kits 55-87. Exhaust clearances should be the same.
