Porterbuilt components are definitely top notch and worth the investment for any type of build. Fit and finish is amazing, and the customer service that you receive from Nate, Dave and the PB team are excellent. |
Re: My Porterbuilt Experience...
Nice write up! I have basically the same PB parts on my ride. Definitely quality stuff. This thread will be a big help to those wanting to do this in the future. It's cool that you were able to slow down and take pics. I always mean to, but usually get caught up in the work and forget. Great job!

Re: My Porterbuilt Experience...
Have you put the bed back on yet? Pics?

Re: My Porterbuilt Experience...
Just to be clear, did you or didn't you use the cups in the rear? I have the same parts waiting to be powder coated and installed. Awesome truck btw!

Re: My Porterbuilt Experience...
Very nice write up Mac. Everything looks excellent, I'm super glad you posted your build. Gives me a idea what to expect when I get everything put together on my project.

Re: My Porterbuilt Experience...
Do you have any photo's of where you put your ride height adjustment points? I have the same set up and getting ready to install these, have read the instructions 3 times now and think I may be ready. I did call Accuair and they told me search for one of Delmo's post on the Black Bird build.
Any help would be great. Thanks Dan |
Re: My Porterbuilt Experience...
Hey Dan,
I'm assuming you're asking about the AccuAir ride height sensor placement? There are a myriad options for mounting these and it all depends on your creativity, function and the space/room you have to work with on your vehicle. Since the C10 has been done so many times and there are many ways people have done it, it's just a matter of going with whats worked or done before. In my case, Dave from PB sent me a few sample pics of how they commonly set their sensors up and I loosely based it on that. Again, there are so many options to mount these(which is the beauty and the downside of them, lol) but here are pics of my set up. Front: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...psd67c559e.jpg Rear: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...ps24290cb5.jpg I'm keeping an open mind as to the efficiency and reliability of my placement just in case these weren't optimal and need to relocate or modify it, but so far, they seem to be working fine and keeping the sensors in their 'sweet spot' of its range. Hope that helps a bit... |
Re: My Porterbuilt Experience...
Do you have your bed wood back yet? I'm salivating for the finished product:chevy:

Re: My Porterbuilt Experience...
Mac808, very nice ride. What backspacing are you running on front and rear wheels?

Good news is that I will finally be getting the bed wood back tomorrow and will able to commence putting her back together! Don't worry, will post up the 'after' pics once I'm done. :) |

Re: My Porterbuilt Experience...
Any problems you can anticipate with tires rubbing, front or rear due to selected back spacing.
|
Re: My Porterbuilt Experience...
Nope. None at all. These are the same wheels I spaced out before I went with PorterBuilt and airbags so I had them spaced out conservatively so that it wouldn't rub from being overly in/offset.
I used to run a small spacer on the rear to make the wheel a bit more flush with the fender but with the bags, they will be tucked in just the right amount to be able to air out the bags and have the wheels tuck just inside the fender. Pics of the completed truck will be up shortly! Just got my bed wood back and mounted up on the bed. Stay tuned!:uhmk: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...psebd9b066.jpg |
