Thanks guys. I'm so far off from doing the front, but was just entertaining ideas and this looks like a great idea in the long run. More than likely porterbuilt I would call you direct with all the what ifs and how comes.

As far as current tire size goes I'm not even remotely happy with it or sure of the exact size, but in the future after I tackle all of the rust and do some body tweaking I'll be addressing suspension. Just have to start saving my pennys now.

Just wanted to say Nate, very well worded. Thanks for mentioning some of the theory behind it, answers a lot as well as shows the time and thought that went into the dropmember. Once this college stuff is over with, I'll for sure be getting one of yours. Excellent product...

DAM I dont know what to say! Seems like two great companys have two great products, good comparisons so lets just get along. I personally would like to say Porterbuilt has very nice welds and yes he was the first innovator to make it happen, without him I dont know what us C-10 guys would have done. But SSD has been around just as long, yes maybe in just the mini-truck S-10 scene but at least they too are interested in contributing a new product for us to choose from. So I have been doing my homework and for $700.00 man thats not a bad price for the SSD kit at all. Really wish Porterbuilt can match but hey to each his own, will support SSD and yes I do agree Porter has done his thing but lets give SSD a chance to do there thing to.

Introductory pricing. After the first 30-days, they're the same price.

[edflores]

hmm. things are getting interesting. but nate started it page 6 post 128 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=128
then jasons reply has now dissappeared.
it was interesting to see a dropmember opened up but jason shouldve posted that in his own thread and not jumped in this one.
i like seeing the comparisons but not arguing.
on to my question
nate do you have another part number for the power rack? i couldnt come up with what i needed. and will any 79-93 mustang power rack work? i found a place on ebay that has rebuilt units for about 100 bucks.

These are actually by Unisteer. Same as this but at a much better price. Plus, you can't beat a lifetime warranty!

Here's how I know...

Group buys can happen anytime... I define a group buy as 5 or more.

Draglac-

Shoot me PM with your number and a good time for me to call. There will be a few items to discuss. It won't be a problem making it get down where you want, I will just have to tweak some stuff.

[ZZ4Blazer]

So basically, just get 4 other guys to place an order?

Sounds good!!

[Wild83C10]

Does it matter which dropmember is ordered with the group buy. Can one person order a C4 DM while the other 4 order the regular DM. Or some combination of the two?

The C4 version is a little more expensive than the regular DM... but would still be good for the 10% group buy discount. They can be mixed and matched all you want.

Ed-

Just make sure the tie-rod ends on the T-bird rack are the same thread as the Mustang unit (9/16-18). I am not positive, but I think I recall there being a difference between the mustang and T-bird rack at a certain year split.

Get 10 guys together and we will see what we can do.
