I apologize for the frustration and delay. We have been back-ordered on a small hardware piece to complete your kit for a few weeks now. Currently at the mercy of the machine shop. We have been in contact with the company you purchased your control arms from and I thought we had a solution worked out. We will wait to hear back from them in regards to your order. Again, I am sorry that the wait was more than you anticipated. I wish you the best moving forward. Nate

With that said, I understand 100% that the wait can be painful at times. We are doing all we can to find ways to diminish the time-frame. It's not as easy as some might think. Our main focus is to provide the highest quality parts and the highest quality customer service. Unfortunately this can lead to a long wait time. It's a tough balance to try and find the perfect blend between man power and equipment while maintaining the proper overhead to operate a business efficiently. It isn't as simple as "hire more people" or "buy more equipment". We have invested in quality individuals and quality equipment over the years to offer the best product we can. This particular incident revolves around a back-order at the machine shop we use. It is being addressed and steps are being taken to help prevent it from occurring again. Not all of the challenges we face are cut and dry, or have easy solutions. We are doing all we can to put out the highest quality parts. We always appreciate feedback, good or bad. We are here for the long haul and want to set a new industry standard for quality and customer service. It isn't an easy task, but that's our goal! Nate

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I had a chance to visit Nate's shop in early June and was totally impressed! Nate went out of his way to show me his entire production process and spent all the time I needed answering questions about his product. I've never been so thoroughly impressed by the quality of product he is producing and the actual customer service he strives to provide to everyone!
I'm anxiously waiting for the 'Big Brown Truck" to show up at my door!! Thanks Nate and Dave!!!

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Hey fellow members... Need some more insight!
I have an Extreme with an LS swap. I just got the engine in and I am looking to get the steering linkage done. Does anyone have any pics of how they did it with an LS? Im confident that its going to be done with a 3 joint setup. Thanks! ![]() FYI! My pan(not F-body LS1) does fit. I did shim the rack out with 2 washers, with no interference with the notch. It is tight, could maybe use 1 more washer. Here are the pics ![]() ![]() |

One thing to be aware of, when you shim out the rack like you did, you are opening yourself up to some possible bumpsteer concerns. Granted, it might not be enough to where it is noticeable, but something to keep an eye out for. The location of the rack is critical in keeping the suspension and steering geometry in check with its design. Nate

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
No, Im pretty sure that the two flat washers(~1/8") didnt make THAT big of a difference

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Is the Holley oil pan #302-2 the right pan for a DM equipped frames?

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
According to Nate, the only one that should fit is the LS1 F-Body

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I have not yet fit up the Holley pan that Russ is running. It obviously fits... I will get with him to confirm part numbers so we can recommend it as an option.
I am pretty sure that the pan Russ is running is this one: https://www.holley.com/products/ls_p...ns/parts/302-2 My personal experience is with the 98-2002 F body pan. I mocked the kit up with that specific pan, and I know it fits with personal experience. So that's the one we currently recommend to all our customers. Nate

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Mine is the 302-2.....I had to modify the windage try, the f body windage tray is shorter than the truck windage tray. And I did not have a f body windage tray. Easy fix.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I think it's the angle of the pic that makes it look further ahead.
