Talking Re: Porterbuilt Body Drop c10

Well I don't have a porter built body drop, but I did body drop mine my own way and I can tell you that you will run into clearance issues every where. Just to list mine. Hood, wheel wells, hood hinges, trans tunnel, wheel lips, steering shaft to ds upper control arm. I had to move my brake booster over 3" and down some to clear hood and the motor. This allowed me to move the steering column up to clear control arm. If you raise the cab floor,( I don't think porters does) but if so you also have leg to steering wheel clearance issues. Long story short I reworked my whole firewall to clear motor and move booster/ column and pedals to work. I re worked my dash and made brackets to hold the column since I no longer bolts into the pedal bracket. You can go different routs if you want to fork out the dough like getting the small booster, shorter aftermarket column with double u joint shaft. It's worth it in the end. You get the slammed look with good ride cheaper than a full chassis build. If I put bags on mine I could lay it out but it looks bagged now even tho it's a static drop. In fact I had to go back to a 1.5 spring on front caus I only had 4" from the front frame rail to the ground. ( I cut the frame between the core support and gear box to drop the front clip) one other clearance issue you may have along with the radiator lol jkjkjk
