I can't wait to take a measuring device to these things (and compare them to my Belltechs)! I've read and heard multiple different guesses and proposals on how much he track is narrowed. I want to quantitatively dispel all rumors

Thanks and good luck! Only one way to know if you can do it, and that's to try. They have a much better selection of colors available now than they did a few years ago. Great quality paint, that I think I'll be using more of soon...

Glad to hear your going with the extreme coilovers and we can observe your expertise , no change in the rear with the No Limit trailing arm set up correct.

A set of CPP modular drop spindles. Hoping they will provide a narrower track-width (I'm eager to compare them to my Belltech drop spindles), which will provide clearance for turning at super-low heights (and maybe a deeper-dish wheel

). I also went with the 1" narrowed arms from PB

The NL rear kit has been sold to another member. The 'current' plan involves a PB level 3 (extreme) v7 coilover Dropmember up front and level 2 (touring) coilover Dropmember out back. Sorry for all of the confusion--I just barely have figured out what's going on myself

The boxes should start piling up, soon: PB suspension/hood hinges, Ridetech coilovers (via shores6), HartRod ChubTubz, Hill's Rod and Custom inner fenders, and a bunch of other stuff from places I haven't ordered yet--still need Boyd's fuel tank, steering rack/hoses/linkage and a bunch of other hard/soft parts--aaaaah! this is the snowball I was trying to avoid

gringoloco · 10-31-2016, 06:58 PM

Good to hear! I've never seen one in person, but I've never seen a bad review on one. Im a little side-tracked with putting together an AOD to t5 swap on the Muskrat, so I've taken a break on ordering truck parts (for the moment). I have some time to kill while I wait for the PB bits...

gringoloco · 11-27-2016, 05:10 PM

Still stockpiling parts:

mcbassin · 11-28-2016, 11:57 AM

Killer truckload of parts!

**Hart_Rod** · 11-28-2016, 01:35 PM

You should be busy for a while!

MMcMasters · 11-28-2016, 02:36 PM

You have to be itching to get started.The suspense is getting to me and it's not my build!

smbrouss70 · 01-25-2017, 12:15 PM

Bueller?... Bueller?... Bueller?...

You have to have something to show us by now... You don't want the natives getting restless, do you?

kehstr · 01-30-2017, 04:05 PM

I think we are all getting restless waiting to hear some news!! Even if it is just saying you have been too busy to work on your truck with your wife's car being a priority

kehstr · 04-20-2017, 09:51 PM

Any updates?

Sorry, guys! Yes, I'm alive. Been sidetracked with the snow, kids, wife, masters, work, life in general, the Mustang, a new Jeep, and my wife's 'new' car, a '66 Bahama Blue Beetle. Needs more low, and a few other things, but I haven't forgotten about the truck

gringoloco · 05-28-2017, 07:32 PM

Here's what the suspension looks like out of the boxes. It's all been to powder since, but no pics of that

Still working on rounding up parts, but making a conscious effort to get everything collected and ready to start, um, soon?

smbrouss70 · 05-28-2017, 10:06 PM

I thought you had gone with an air setup. I can't wait to see how it sits with an extreme coil-over!!!

NewType72 · 05-29-2017, 04:45 AM

Yay new parts!

SCOTI · 05-30-2017, 12:50 AM

You ever need a hand in the garage, let me know. Eagerly waiting to see the next round of changes.

I was planning on air initially. The thought was to keep it simple, ll trying to control the snowball...

Yes, pretty pumped. Just hafta round up the rest of the required stuff. The list is short-ish: rack, fuel tank, misc., but the list will grow if I decide to LS swap it while I'm at it (found a great deal on a 5.3, buuuut... reference the snowball comment above).

I may be a bit far away now, though we're back from UK, we landed (temporarily) in UT! I miss the southern hospitality

Orange67 · 05-31-2017, 10:42 PM

Hey! I offered help! Lol actually, to be honest, equal amounts of help and envy...

Tommyh5 · 06-02-2017, 11:05 AM

47 pages deep and the project has a long way to go! Wow. I am impressed. I am looking forward to seeing this through. My goal is an extreme coilover drop on mine as well. Good work bud.

Thanks, and welcome to the forum! They're never done, I'll keep chipping away at it til I can't anymore. Speaking of...

Started assembling the porterbuilt bits. They are powdercoated in a color called evo grey that is matte metallic and flips from silver to almost black, depending on the lighting. I like it!
