Thanks Matt! I wonder what they are asking for that truck! Just curious.;)

BTW--if you line up the body feature line using stepside fenders, will you have tire-to-top-of-fender clearance problems if you lay frame?

I don't think so. It really depends on the tire size! Its gonna work:lol:

I'd be interested in that seat. He doesn't mention it in the ad so it might not be for sale.

I plan to start tearing her down soon. I wanted to wait until my porterbuilt parts show up but I think I'm gonna get a jump on it so I can sell the stuff I'm not going to use.

Sorry my wife was on me about always being on my computer last night so I had to sneak in a quick post to answer your question. I had originally planed to run the mild rear dropmember and just run 1 inch forward arms up front with drop spindles...But... Then I thought if I gonna go down why not go to the ground!:lol: Truth be told I really like the advantages of the front drop member and the trucks just gonna be low and slow so I don't need the performance of the touring dropmember. And the front dropmember's are all the same price so... Extreme I went!

I'm trying to make this same decision. I currently have the Mild rear on order and was planning on ordering the Touring front but Nate told me i could switch to the extreme rear if I wanted to run the extreme front. I'm just concerned with the clearance of the big block, decisions decisions :lol:

Hey I understand. I guess the best advice I could give you is to ask yourself... "Will it be low enough?" And will I be satisfied with it knowing it could be lower? That's where I decided to go extreme.

I placed my order with Porterbuilt today, I decided to lay it out. Now I know it will be low enough. Thanks for the advice.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
 
lol not me! I'm already afraid I will have to modify my brush guard for clearance, just so it will lay out! lol

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
