down2earth Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 yeah guys not much going on still waiting for a welder to get here but i order a Porterbuilt Dropmember it will be here in 3 weeks then im going to order my a-arms from michigan metal works Description: The Porterbuilt Dropmember is a bolt-in front suspension system designed to eliminate all the drawbacks traditionally associated with extreme lowering of the 60-87 Chevrolet trucks. It is available for the C10, C20, and C30 chassis. Its improved/revised suspension geometry and rack and pinion steering improve both ride quality and performance. It raises the suspension components in the chassis to eliminate ground clearance concerns, making the frame-rails under the cab the lowest point; narrows the trac-width by approximately 1 1/2 inches, per side, for increased tire clearance; and moves the wheel center-line forward, centering the wheels in the wheel well opening and eliminating tire to firewall clearance normally asociated with laying frame and large diameter wheels/tires. The Dropmember is compatible with factory upper control arms from 1963-1987 and factory C10 lowers from 73-87. Basic Kit Includes the following ($1099): -Main crossmember assembly -Inner truss support system -Motor mounts (SBC, BBC, GEN3, and I6 available) -Upper shock relocator brackets -Transmission crossmember -Rack notches -Tie rod assemblies -Billet mounting bushings for rack and pinion -Grade 8 hardware for installation my 1949 ford f-1 build log http://www.stevemead...running-boards/ my 1981 crew cab dually bagging and body dropping http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/132672-bagging-and-body-dropping-a-81-crew-cab-dually/page__st__100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
