Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I'm quite new to this forum and am still sweating this ride
Of course, I want get this low but I would like to know what kind of ride I can expect with the PB mild front and rear dropmembers (on bags). I have a low mile 5.3L (2008) and 4L70E I plan to drop-in soon. I'm looking to DD this ride until the wheels fall off (20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear). I look forward to feedback. |

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Once the wheels fall-off, I'll just purchase a new set

![]() There are several board members running the Dropmembers and if you look through some of the threads regarding feedback on ride quality and handeling you will be able to firshand all the positive feedback. The mild rear is essentially the same kit as the extreme rear that is installed in the orange truck, the only difference is that the notch is a few inches shorter. The ride quality of these two kits is the same. With the sleeved bags mounted outboard of the frame and off the rear of the axle, it doesn't get much better. The Mild and Touring front have a different geometry than the Extreme version installed in the orange truck but yield a similar ride quality. It is a little hard to explain in words, but the most common response we get is that "it rides better than my new truck" and of course we all know it looks so much cooler! ![]() A few members that actively participate on the forum, and have logged thousands of miles on our kits, that I am sure would be happy to give you feedback, are Dino, N2Billett, Delmo, and Mason... and I am pretty sure Lolife99 went for a pretty fun ride in one of our Dropmember Equipped trucks. He can give you his opinion as well. Nate

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I've logged-in to posts on this form a few members listed in the thread, which is what motivated me to roll my 1967 C-10 lowered and on bag. Thanks for the response PB and those members who have posted enlightening threads.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I apologize for complaining. I definetly don't want to offend anyone. Ok so on to the questions. Who's truck if your allowed to say and do they have a build thread. Ok that was 2 questions. When are we going to see pics of your own truck? If your not building one right now than when and what?

The orange truck was built by a new shop... you can find them on Facebook under The Restomod Store. Super clean truck, and of course, running all our stuff. ![]() I am getting ready to put a truck together for myself, but need to get a few other irons out of my fire before I can feel good about spending time on my own project. ![]() The first one will be a 70 C10 that I am going to put together and drive until it sells... which means I probably won't even get to enjoy it much.... but it's all for a good cause.... to fund my 57 pickup I have had since high school. ![]() Nate

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
The older 50's trucks are really starting to grow on me! I love that red GMC you posted pics of... Do you have any pics of your 57 you could share with us in its current state?

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I for one, hate my DropMember! It just keeps costing me money. First it was the front, the it was the rear, then I had to have an AccuAir management system and then the body drop. Buying a DM is an addiction
