Dropmember level 1 or 2 finished pics

Does anybody have any good pics of 67-72 trucks running bagged dropmembers level 1 or 2 finished. Maybe with 20"s or 22"s. Im trying to decide which to use. I dont really have to be able to lay frame but i want a pretty low ride height. Also does anybody know if, when running level 1, the control arms are narrowed? I know its needed but somtimes the front wheels being tucked inward so much looks a lil goofy.

Re: Dropmember level 1 or 2 finished pics

Contact Dave at PB and he can send you some pics. If you are wanting a real low ride height you'll want a level 2 or 3. I will be running a Level 1 front and "currently" a Stage 2 c-notch out back. Ride height should be equivalent to roughly a 6/4 drop. There's a small possibility I may got to a Level 1 rear mainly to level the truck out when its laid out.

With the Level 1 you can run standard or narrowed arms. I went with the narrowed as suggested by Dave and Travis at Pro Performance. I'm with you on tucking too much wheel up front but figured I can fix that with wheel backspacing.

Re: Dropmember level 1 or 2 finished pics

I emailed them a lil while back, before i learned anything about their products. They sent me some pics of level 1 and 2 , only 1 truck was finished and it had massive 24"s on it, so it was hard to really tell. And a couple were incomplete. Its jus hard to tell lol. Ive been on the fence for a while now and it seems the more i read and look at pics and the closer i get to doing it, the more confused i become. I guess being a large amount of work and money i wana make the right decisions for my expectations

Re: Dropmember level 1 or 2 finished pics

I totally understand where you are coming from. All you have to do is read my build thread At least you are reading before buying. I bought the Stage 1 front and Stage 2 basic. I'm now waiting on my Level 1 front, then I'm going to mock everything up and then decide if I will finish the Stage 2 Deluxe or go with the Level 1 step-notch.

Hendo67 is currently building a Level1 front/Stage 2 rear truck. He's got a pick laid out on his build thread.

Bennett68c10 had a Level 2 front and I believe a Level 3 rear and it basically lays frame.

c10seconds currently has a Level 1 Kit I believe

edit: build thread I posted does not have a Level 1 frontend. I thought it did but apparently was mistaken. I've read too much on here and its now all running together.

Re: Dropmember level 1 or 2 finished pics

Make sure not to confuse the term Stage 1 (with a stock crossmember) and a Level 1 Dropmember.
I suggest finding a truck you like and finding out the details.
(which is the point of this thread)
