i have my truck lowered with spindles and springs in the front and have REALLY thought about switching to bags and a dropmember when I swap out the motor.

Then I would have a pretty full PB trailing arm truck!!!

I really think it's just us that realy can't stop and finish it. I know I for one have finally decided to do it the way I want, that said, means more money and time. The next one I do will be simply install the latest PB stuff and patina the paint, I will not blow another one apart like I have this one.

I know, I could be rolling like Dino with about 3 DM'd trucks for I will have in this one, but it will be one sweet killer ride no doubt.

I've been wondering how many of these trucks with dropmembers are finished and actually get driven some. I've started driving mine quite a bit although mine wasn't built to win show trophies. It has old paint and trim, inside of the bed isn't finished, etc.

Re: Dropmembered trucks

Ron-

You will need to trim off some of the threaded portion of the rack and pinion. Do you not have a set of instructions? There will be a step with pics that demonstrate and explain the process. Here's a link to a pic of the "normal" amount to trim.

Re: Dropmembered trucks
 
i had to cut a couple of inches off both sides of the threaded ends on the rack. It was in Nate's instructions. You might have missed it.
