Re: Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?

I'm running the stage 2 front on mine and I was really impressed with the improved cornering and ride quality. I'd definitely suggest the stage 2.

Ride height is really going to be determined by total tire height and wheel offset/backspacing.
You have to be able to turn/steer the wheels at low ride heights.
This means the wheels and tires have to turn inside the fenders instead of thru the wheel opening.

ALOT of these low pics are just people "air'd out" rolling in a staight line on the highway.
To actually steer at these low heights takes alot of mods and careful planning.

Re: Anyone running Porterbuilt stage 1 front and rear?

I'm a little late to the party here, but Keith and Travis shared pics of my truck already. Just wanted to say it was good texting with you tonight and good luck.

You can't go wrong with Porterbuilt and Pro Performance. Travis worked with me a lot and he puts up with my list of questions before I make a purchase. He also answers my calls/emails when I'm in the middle of installing stuff!

If I had to do it all over again, I'd do the Stage 1 front with drop spindles and the Stage 2 Basic rear kit. I'm about to add a notch, so that's close to what I'll have when I'm all done.

As I suggested, ride in bagged truck or car. Do it right after riding in your truck with cut/heated springs and you'll be sold. I know it's expensive to have it ride super low, but having a great ride with the ability to make it pretty low when stopped with a reasonable investment is hard to beat.

I can't thank you enough man! I'll definitely just enjoy the truck how it is now and save my money for the pro performance package.

Here are a few more of mine. The ones on the track are ride height. In the alley are aired out.
