Oh thank you Oh GREAT ONE!!! for your words of inspiration

*vegaschevy* · 02-27-2010, 02:52 PM

i have my truck lowered with spindles and springs in the front and have REALLY thought about switching to bags and a dropmember when I swap out the motor.

Then I would have a pretty full PB trailing arm truck!!!

**67cheby** · 02-27-2010, 03:09 PM

do it!! in the infamous words of the mini-truckers i used to run with "if you cant tuck you suck" LOL

I really think it's just us that realy can't stop and finish it. I know I for one have finally decided to do it the way I want, that said, means more money and time. The next one I do will be simply install the latest PB stuff and patina the paint, I will not blow another one apart like I have this one.

no kidding, its a addiction. "just a little bit lower" I am now considering this Porterbuilt bolt on body drop after seeing fnlow69"s project,

I feel your pain. I have blown apart 2,,one more than once,and it's wearing on me. You can really get in over your head,doing that.

jasonb72 · 02-28-2010, 03:32 AM

I know, I could be rolling like Dino with about 3 DM'd trucks for I will have in this one, but it will be one sweet killer ride no doubt.

Dam that is one sweet ride, I would love to see it in person sometime.

FnLow69 · 03-06-2010, 01:21 AM

Ronm909 · 03-06-2010, 01:23 AM

Ron-

You will need to trim off some of the threaded portion of the rack and pinion. Do you not have a set of instructions? There will be a step with pics that demonstrate and explain the process. Here's a link to a pic of the "normal" amount to trim.

nastyc10 · 03-06-2010, 02:20 AM

i had to cut a couple of inches off both sides of the threaded ends on the rack. It was in Nate's instructions. You might have missed it.

Ronm909 · 03-06-2010, 11:59 AM
