20/22 Boyd Vtwin & porterbuilt stage 2 suspension

Finally got my truck back on the ground with the mild stage 2 dropmember. Pics are with the suspension aired out. Rear suspension is the mild c-notch kit from air ride tech. Im starting to feel the need to go just a little lower on the back. I will hopefully have the LS powertrain mocked up this weekend.

Just thought id post some pics of this kit so you can see where it sits.

Re: 20/22 Boyd Vtwin & porterbuilt stage 2 suspension

very nice truck like the wheels, IMO if you are already thinking about lowering the rear more go ahead and do it now while you alre already working on the truck...

Nice choice on the wheels. I'm not sure about going lower on the back - how much more are you thinking? Looks pretty darn good as is.

Re: 20/22 Boyd Vtwin & porterbuilt stage 2 suspension

Trucks looking great, but i too think the back should come down some more to level it out.

Looks good!

Good to see progress on your truck. You were talking about the LS when I picked up the tailgate. I was kind of thinking you may have lost interest or something. Then I saw alot of parts for sale, and thought Uh OH. Glad I was wrong

Keep up the good work... And post pics!

Re: 20/22 Boyd Vtwin & porterbuilt stage 2 suspension

Sure does look killer! I agree with leveling it out a little (even though it looks great as is)...if you don't want to work on the rear (suspension/bed mods), maybe just swapping to 22's in the front will raise it up enough to not have so much rake aired out.

Re: 20/22 Boyd Vtwin & porterbuilt stage 2 suspension

Looks awesome....

if it was 20's all around or 22's all around it would be more level.
