Porterbuilt forward arms

Im thinking about running the PB forward series arms and the stage 2 deluxe rear. Along with 2 inch drop spindals and 15 inch steelies. Is anyone running a setup kinda like this? My truck is a 66 and curious if i can keep the front inner fenders and would just kinda like to see how its sits at ride height and layed out. Ive been trolling the pic thread for bagged trucks but no one really puts details of their truck.

What size front tires? Total height will be the limiting factor.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

That's a touch over 26" tall. I have a Dropmember & w/a 215/70-15 (roughly 27") on a 6" wide wheel I calculated I would have to clearance the top of the inner wheel housing slightly.

Final tire height, wheel width, & back-spacing will all have an impact. But the limitations of the front crossmember will likely prevent it from being an issue @ the 26" height. Worst case, they might require clearancing (small bump @ the top).

Here's a great reference (& build)....

Re: Porterbuilt forward arms

There was a thread on a baby blue truck I think Dino built that was running the same style set up i want but cant find it. It may have been delmo.... You look and read so much it all runs together
