Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Details:
Dropmember front and Rear systems for 47-55 First Series. ![]() We are currently prototyping the Extreme Front and Rear with Air and a coil-over version as well. Hoping the trailing arms will work on both versions out back.... not quite there yet. Nate

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Cheese slicer? Maybe if you look at it long enough.... sometimes it's hard for people to break out of the "box tubing" and recognize innovation when they see it.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I know Nate said it was close to the same, maybe slightly lighter than the V3. I think it looks beefy as hell and that is what I'm all about. I like the tube version of the DM, but the OG version and this version are my favorite.
The OG version with the boxed steel is just pure handmade craftsmanship and an amazing bit of engineering on Nate's part years ahead of everyone else. I love the industrial look of the latests version.

We will not be using this "innovative technique" to get rid of the square tubing found in our front four link brackets nor the rectangular tubing found in our front frame rail sections for our 55-59 kits. We will also continue to employ the use of round tubing found in many of our other products. Nate

![]() Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying I don't like it, or it looks goofy. It's just different, that all. If it saves weight and offers better strength, I'm all for it. ![]()

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
It's for making short work of Gophers. Slice and dice baby. Well at least the wheels will point the right direction, that's what matters to me.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I don't know zoomin or bruce bruce and my impression may be incorrect, but from what i have seen them post in this and other related threads it is apparent they are very classy individuals. I would like to thank them for contributing so much to this discussion.
