Re: Porterbuilt Stage 1 Front and Rear Kit Chart
muckyp, I had clearance issues with the lower control rubbing/interfering the inner rally wheels and wheel balance weights. I also had to clearance/grind the tie rod area of the drop spindle. For my application, a grinder was my best tool until I decide to buy larger wheels. Im running my stock rally wheels which are 15x8. I used the belltech 3 inch drop spindle, stock lower control arms, & the air bag in the lower control spring pocket. I also used a PB stage 1 lowering kit which relocated the shock mounts. i hope this helps.

Re: Porterbuilt Stage 1 Front and Rear Kit Chart
Just wondering how much lower (if any) having tubular control arms would make it?
I ask because the way the bag mounting happens with the stage 1 kit it brings the mounting surface flush with arm and not recessed into the cup. Would a set of porterbuilt tubular arms/CPP arms in standard form change those dimensions and make it lower again in the front? |

Thanks for the chart Matt... Awesome lay out for everyone to use as a comparison when building their trucks... I see you're in Lyman S.C., I'm originally from Columbia.

Re: Porterbuilt Stage 1 Front and Rear Kit Chart
Does anyone have any pictures of how and where all the air valves and controller is mounted? Just looking for ideas on how to plumb and set up.

Re: Porterbuilt Stage 1 Front and Rear Kit Chart
Truck looks good. I like the way it looks That's the setup I'm going to put on my c10. What size tires do you have??

Re: Porterbuilt Stage 1 Front and Rear Kit Chart
Thanks for the chart. I asked about this about a year ago and this is exactly the information I was looking for. I see in the first few photos you are at 80 psi front and 40 psi rear, but in the last few you list ride height at 60 psi front and 25 psi rear. Is that where you have always kept the ride height, or have you reduced it over time to fine tune the firmness you were after?

Re: Porterbuilt Stage 1 Front and Rear Kit Chart
Matt- thanks for the heads up. I've seen the pics in the regional forum. I definitely want to make it out, I just recently got the front end back on the my truck and got it back on the road. Once I get the kinks worked out I'll feel better about driving it to greenville.

Re: Porterbuilt Stage 1 Front and Rear Kit Chart
I bought the stage 1 front and added the control arms later and have the stage 2 basic and used CCP trailing arms with blocks... I bought all mine at different times if I could do it again I would have bought it all at once and went with the deluxe kits. but here is the end result. also made some bumpstops for the front because the tire hits the fender. the bump stomps get the tire just off the fender by about 1/4 inch
this is before the bump stops setting on the fenders http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/a...psq4xouqtu.jpg Bump stops http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/a...pslgolip4b.jpg here it is all aired out. I changed the rear bump stops so it sets about an inch lower in the rear http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps21ppomsc.jpg |
