Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Thought you might like to see the front extreme drop member mocked up.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I have a question when airing out. Seems when I let the front down I can get the cross memeber on the ground. But when I lower the rear it pivots on the frame and raises the crossmember up about 2 inches. Have the cab off right now.Getting ready to paint the frame. My question is is it best to let the front down and leave the rear with a little air in it to sit level?

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I have a Question also. I'm going to be using the Extreme PB Dropmembers, Front and Rear. Will I have to run a 2 piece drive shaft or can I run the one piece I have?
Thanks in advance for your help.

This allows the shaft to clear the bottom of the cab. A 1-piece driveshaft would require raising the hoop in the trailing arm crossmember and "tunneling" the floor of the cab.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Travis @azproperformance had a extreme dropmember unaccounted for on his order, just secured one. My cousin is picking up my 72 right now while I'm offshore. Nothing like coming home to a new truck and badass parts.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Hello,
I am in the process of building my Gen V 454 and was curious as to what oil pan to use if my truck is running an extreme dropmember and rear kit? Is there another vehicle's that I can use? Last edited by intherut; 07-03-2014 at 12:49 PM. |

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Trans pan is level and it seems my whole motor could stand to come down a bit.
Motor looks great in there with everything level and all angles where they need to be. I think I'll be fine if I can get new mounts and shim up the carrier bearing 2" or so. Is this out of the norm? I read somewhere that porterbuilt makes different height motor mounts. Waiting on a response from them on is. Hopefully they get back to me soon. I thought about just cutting down the mounts I have and tigging them back together. I would like to try tigging something this thick but don't wanna ruin the mounts in case I have to return them. |
