Re: Porterbuilt Stage 1 Front and Rear Kit Chart
Great information Matt, and appreciate you posting this up. I too, will have to use this for our site for others to see. Truck is coming along great.

In my opinion and knowledge, the regular CPP spindle (has caliper mounting ears like a stock spindle) and the McGaughys are very much the same. |

Re: Porterbuilt Stage 1 Front and Rear Kit Chart
MattPSU - are those 15" wheels on the truck in the photos? If so did you have issues with the wheels rubbing the lower control arms?

Re: Porterbuilt Stage 1 Front and Rear Kit Chart
muckyp, I had clearance issues with the lower control rubbing/interfering the inner rally wheels and wheel balance weights. I also had to clearance/grind the tie rod area of the drop spindle. For my application, a grinder was my best tool until I decide to buy larger wheels. Im running my stock rally wheels which are 15x8. I used the belltech 3 inch drop spindle, stock lower control arms, & the air bag in the lower control spring pocket. I also used a PB stage 1 lowering kit which relocated the shock mounts. i hope this helps.

Re: Porterbuilt Stage 1 Front and Rear Kit Chart
I trimmed them with a sawzall & cut-off wheel, then cleaned it up with my grinder.

Re: Porterbuilt Stage 1 Front and Rear Kit Chart
Just wondering how much lower (if any) having tubular control arms would make it?
I ask because the way the bag mounting happens with the stage 1 kit it brings the mounting surface flush with arm and not recessed into the cup. Would a set of porterbuilt tubular arms/CPP arms in standard form change those dimensions and make it lower again in the front? |
