I've got one of their A/C delete plates doing that right now. It's almost too pretty to install.

Lol. Yes they sure do have a nice products they put out.
The guy that bought my CPP stuff came over yesterday and made the comment that his stuff wasn't as nice as the Porter stuff. Lol.

RodsGreen10 · 10-15-2015, 07:26 PM

Finished. For now hahaha...

RodsGreen10 · 10-16-2015, 09:36 AM

I managed to get another 1" of drop in the front with the PB arms. Not because of the arms. I probably could get another .5" before any rubbing issue on fender lip. So as of now I am 7.5/8 drop. Really like the look. And the PB arms are top dawg.

RodsGreen10 · 10-16-2015, 10:39 AM

Let me see if I can make that sound better. The PB arms didn't give me the extra inch of drop. They gave me ability to drop it another 1". The arms being pulled in a inch resolved the issue with my wheels kissing the fender lips. So with that resolved I dropped it another inch. And all still is good. Didn't like how I made it sounds in the post above.

RodsGreen10 · 10-16-2015, 10:40 AM

Now I am waiting on the PB sway bar. The one they are making. And then a PB c notch. I think I am going PB crazy! Lol.

RodsGreen10 · 10-16-2015, 10:44 AM

And another thing I would like to add is Nate and Cousin Dave are Johnny on the spot with responses in emails. I really appreciate that as a customer. Plus they know what the hell they are talking about. I have called other suppliers/manufactures about stuff for our truck and most have no idea. Makes it nice to have someone in the trenches with us like PB. Lol off my soapbox.

So with the 1" narrow control arms I had to cut 1" off of the outer tie rod end. Well the sleeves are bottoming out. So I had to order some new shorter ones. Found some really nice QA1 sleeves.

RodsGreen10 · 10-17-2015, 10:14 AM

I got to take it out yesterday for a little cruise in. Took it up the parkway drives great! Handles better and turns better turns deeper. But I am so low I did scrape my new long tube headers. So the headers have to go. Which sucks cause they only have about 500 miles on them. I drove it pretty hard making sure everything was good. Everything is seated and nothing fell off so I must have put everything on right lol. I only put about 30 miles on the new setup. But this is the best setup I have had. Minus the headers rubbing the ground on dip. Very pleased and happy with PB arms.

What kind of pic you wanting? I am running a 5" drop coil and a 2.5 drop spindles.

RodsGreen10 · 10-18-2015, 11:12 AM

The pics above the one of the wheel shots that was before I had to go in a do a little customizing lol. When I got both sides done I had to go back and pull coils and do a little magic on them hahaha.

RodsGreen10 · 10-18-2015, 12:13 PM

Baby coil after I got finished with it. Thanks to PB with that aluminum block that holds them in. Smart on PB part.
