Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Hi Nate, God, how do you guy's get welds that nice? Anyway, i had a thought of a different rearend set up: put an irs rearend above the frame and not c notch the frame. I think with the read diff as low as possible (keeping the bed floor as close to normal as possible) and let the halfshafts angle up when dropped down, it may work. Has anyone done this and contacted you? Or how about a toronado front drive set up and let the rear be a pair of swing arms and put the box floor on the ground and make people think about that one! Gmc made motorhomes in the 70's on toronado drivetrain and the rear was an airsprung tag axle adjusted from the drivers seat in use! I like to dream outside of the box sometimes. Keep up the great work. Brian F.

As for us doing something like that... One thing I have learned is that for me, simple is better. You can make simple look really cool... and function extremely well. Complicated becomes expensive... as time=money. Nate

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I investigated going the IRS route before deciding on the Porterbuilt route. I do occasional towing and building a IRS rear to handle that and the power of a built LS motor was way above my budget. More than the total cost of the front and rear Porterbuilt. I spoke with a couple companies I've dealt with on Jeep projects and they didn't think it could be done.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
Just started a new job (3 months ago) after being layed off from the job I worked at for 13 years. Anyway. Met this guy that has a 70 C10 and told me I should stop by and check it out. And like most car/truck guys he offered to help with anything I needed to do on my truck.
So I stopped by yesterday... His truck is in the works but oh my Porterbuilt dropmember with coil overs, porterbuilt rear set-up. Fabbed rails to rais his bed floor. 6.0 LS. This thing rocks. And Id have to say it looked pretty freakin awesome next to his custom 63 stingray convertable. Was drooling so much and asking so many questions I forgot to take pictures. Ill be visiting quite a bit so Ill make sure to take pics next time.
