Porterbuilt bolt-in IFS subframe for 55-59
Porterbulit just released this photo of thier latest product. no firm details yet, but just thought ya'll would like to know what's going to be available for suspension on these trucks. It's completely bolt-on.
![]() with all the questons about suspension (I.F.S) this may be a good option for some folks on here. ![]() all i know about it other than that it's bolt-on is that it will use c-10 spindles & A-arms. a power rack of somekind, and can be had with either bags or coil-overs. |

Re: Porterbuilt bolt-in IFS subframe for 55-59
Interesting... anyone know why C-10 instead of something more modern, like GM Metric?

Re: Porterbuilt bolt-in IFS subframe for 55-59
hallelujah,,,,, finally a vendor that doesn't think a pinto was a good choice for a truck suspension. Truck spindles and truck A arms on a truck frame?? Is this a prank?

Re: Porterbuilt bolt-in IFS subframe for 55-59
Possibly, but what percentage of people that put a bolt on IFS on these trucks need something stouter then what works on a S-10?

We have been making suspension systems for the C10 trucks for some time now, and it was an easy transition to utilize a lot of what we learned over the years when developing this new system. Sticking with the C10 spindle was a no brainer.

I have not yet seen a crossmember designed for the TF trucks that is S10 based. Not sure if one exists. Nate

Re: Porterbuilt bolt-in IFS subframe for 55-59
Personally that's the best statement I've ever heard from a vendor. No need to bash while stating his personal opinion and admits most products work, but believes his product is better.

Re: Porterbuilt bolt-in IFS subframe for 55-59
Nope not interested. Unless he is making things for my tri5 car. I'm done with changes on the truck, the only suspension upgrade I'm interested in is for my 55 210. So there you go trouble maker.lol

Re: Porterbuilt bolt-in IFS subframe for 55-59
Probably not a lot but I think the key is that Porterbuilt is quite familiar with the C-10 suspension and stuck with what he knows. No need to reinvent the wheel when you have worked with the C-10 suspension pieces extensively.

Re: Porterbuilt bolt-in IFS subframe for 55-59
There are plenty of choices for rear axles with 5 on 5 bolt patterns out there too.
