I just searched this thread and didn't see anything that said I could or couldn't. . . Can you run a big block with the Dropmember?

The manual rack does give more "feel"... but can be a PITA when parking. If you have a big steering wheel and Popeye sized forearms it isn't too bad!

I would most likely stick a power rack in anything I would build for myslef.

No, you do not. You may decide you want them, but they are not required.

Here's what it looks like with out spindles-

BACKYARD88 · 11-10-2008, 10:48 PM

Looks nice enough to me

PBFAB.COM · 11-11-2008, 12:06 AM

Spindle selection will depend on overall tire diameter and desired dumped height.

Nate, when can we expect to start seeing some UPS boxes show up??

**lolife99** · 11-20-2008, 07:30 AM

PM porterbuilt,...

corvetteman10 · 12-07-2009, 05:26 AM

I only just started learning about all of the different ways to get our trucks low. Porterbuilts products look to be outstanding. My question is, are drop members only for bagged trucks? It seems like using the drop member and switching to rack and pinion steering would be a trick way to get your truck low, steering updated and simplified, and keep the trucks suspension geometry as close as possible to factory - while still using coils? I think the ride quality would be almost factory as well? I'm not an airbag guy... Everyone chime in!

ZZ4Blazer · 12-07-2009, 08:54 AM

Id look into his "C4" dropmemeber. It utilizes coilovers instead of airbags, while upgrading with C4 vette stuff.
