Re: Xmas In March, Thanks To Porterbuilt.
MeanGrean, how did you/do you plan to wire the two compressors together? I am using a viair relay/pressure switch but I'm not sure how I'm going to use it to hook up two compressors. Any suggestions?
Thanks |

Re: Xmas In March, Thanks To Porterbuilt.
I want one of the Porterbuilts crossmembers so bad. From what I understand it narrows the front and moves it forward? I was wondering what kind of offset you guys are running that have the Porterbuilt X member. I have a narrowed 9" out back and want to run wheels with a large outside lip. I already have Strong Arms and am running RE7's with CPP drop spindles. I was hoping that someone could give me the exact specs or any helpful info on the Porterbuilt X member. Thanks

Re: Xmas In March, Thanks To Porterbuilt.
BigShoe24-
I run a 8.5" wheel with a 5.5" backspacing. The Dropmember will narrow the track-width one inch per side, and yes, it does move the axle center-line forward to center the wheels in the wheel-wells when deflated. If you have some more specific questions post em up on the Dropmember thread and I will be happy to answer them all.

Re: Xmas In March, Thanks To Porterbuilt.
MEANGREEN70,
Your truck looks GREAT! I was wondering what you think of running 22's (probably will be 9.5" or 10" wide) with the porterbuilt. Is this a bad idea? I dont really care to lay frame, just want to get really low. Plan on purchasing a crossmember in the very new future. Just need to save a few more $$$. Thanks for any suggestions. Shoe, |

they tuck just perfect under the fenders for me. But like I said this in just my personal opinion, I have seen some nice trucks with big wheels. I dont thing you'll have any problems running then, I do know that it takes more trinning of the inside fenders. I hope this helps you some. ![]() |

Re: Xmas In March, Thanks To Porterbuilt.
PORTERBUILT,
I was wondering how much more drop the crossmember provides? I believe I have saved up enough money to purchase the crossmember, rack & pinion, according to the prices in your website. Last, I was curious to know if you keep them in stock or build upon ordering. Thanks for the help, and any other information would be great. |
