Re: Monticello

I am going to go with a little bigger tire in the rear but this is a pretty good idea of how the wheels look on the truck.

Re: Monticello

Front setup was not low enough so I ripped it all apart. Should have the replacement parts in early next week.

Re: Monticello

Pulled the factory crossmember with Porterbuilt forward arms off and installed the dropmember. I am very happy with the stance is has now. I need to button up a few things on the front suspension and the pull the body to do the final welding/metal finishing on the frame and the powdercoat and reassembly.

Re: Monticello

Front wheels look so much better standing straight up and down with the Dropmember.
Great Project!

Yeah the camber curve with the dropmember is nearly non-existent. Unfortunately now that I don't have the negative camber the wheels are hitting the inside of the front fenders so I will have to clearance all that.

Re: Monticello

What Dropmember did you use up front? I cant see the rack notch in the pics. Is this the Mild D/M?

It's the extreme, I just haven't installed the rack notches yet

I ordered quite a few parts for the truck and should have everything in by next week so I will have some good updates.

Re: Monticello

I assumed so based on how low it sits. Thanks for sharing.
