What about custom-made-on-a-water-jet free stuff?

p.s. the Stoked Out tee has officially become my favorite

It would be really cool to have a super special price in that 30 day intro, if you buy the crossmember & the A-arms

Mello Mel · 09-26-2008, 01:27 AM

Who exactly is the sd front suspension for ? Just 67-72 or is it being made for us 73-87 people ? I keep asking but all my questions in here have gone unanswered. I have a two wheel drive 80' blazer that is needing some type of extreme drop and i'm just trying to get answers.

It will fit 67-87...if I remember correctly the only difference between the years is what ball joints they use for the different year spindles. I believe the factory crossmembers were pretty much all the same.

I looked back through this thread & don't see where you asked? But now that you have, 6X (early 60's, post torsion bar front suspensions) thru 87 a-arms/suspensions will interchange. You only need to use the appropriate ball-joints for the spindle you decide to use (71-72 spindles use 71-72 BJ's; 73-87 spindles use 73-87 BJ's; etc....).

So your saying this crossmember should fit 63 - 66 as well?

I was wondering because my 63 already has the complete front crossmember/suspension from a 85

If you bolted an 85 crossmember in, the Dropmember will work too. The 60-62's I believe had different frame width dimensions because of the torsion bar suspension.

Mello Mel,... Shoot Thorbecke Bros. (or anyone else on here) a PM if you need a specific question answered. I don't know how many PM's I have sent Porterbuilt,... and other members,... and they always get's right back with me. I feel like that is the quickest source of info.

Mello Mel · 09-26-2008, 10:33 AM

Thank you actually Nate sent me a PM before i could send him one, i've conversed with Nate in the past and he is awesome !!! Thank you everyone for your help.

DollaBill · 09-26-2008, 11:39 AM

do you guys have any pics/feedback of your kit installed on a driving vehicle?

still curious on how it drives/steers/handles. i think the price sounds good but not about to spend cash on a kit with no feedback on how it drives.

finally heard back from jason. it seems they haven't even tested it yet on the road. dont know how i feel about that. i know its a knock off of porters stuff, but i would have thought that proper testing would have been done before it was officially released.

powell72 · 09-26-2008, 04:30 PM

I did some searching and didn't see any info on the control arms yet. What are the specs on the uppers? Longer than factory? Different caster settings than originals?

pcmcobra · 09-26-2008, 05:26 PM

spr85gmc · 09-26-2008, 05:38 PM
