Oh it's the sound of a snow ball effect starting to roll. Lol. Rear disc, new exhaust lay out, just a little bit lower.... Next thing you know

If my kids would stop this whole, "I need to eat 3 times a day and take hot showers at night" stuff I could afford to buy all the cool stuff!

hot trux has a set of 1.5" lowering blocks on his truck,... and that kinda helps kick the rearend forward.

This is kinda what I was thinking too, move the crossmember forward. Now that you post yours, I'm sure mine will have the same issue. What to do.....

I know right... Kids how did they get their priorities all screwed up. Lol

I'd like to have the Porterbuilt piece, and I should probably order one and a notch too. (Damn you Jaun!) I just hate waiting... and they are way backed up. Anyway, I need to handle the rear end first, so I'll flip the trailing arm brackets first and see how it does.

I've got one I could loan you.....

Hart Rod,... you might want to set the stepside bed on your Porterbuilt chassis.
You will see the wheel base will be off also.
I found this with my PB stepside.

The rear wheel "opening" on a stepside bed is 1" farther foward,... than it is on a fleetside bed.
I found this out the hard way.

Keith told me last night that Stella's trailing arm heims are bottomed out completely to correct this. He even removed the jam nuts. I don't think Rob is going to use a step bed though...

The "extra" crossmember is for my 68. Plus, I'm switching my son's truck to a fleetside....

Thanks, If Rob would have kept his son's step bed it would have been like "twin brothers with different mothers" but with names like Esther Mae...
