Porter Built 4 link or Port built trailing arm

I am trying to decide which route to go

I am starting to plan for a touring truck SWB and was just wondering which route to go I am looking driveability and performance and not sure which would suit me better

Also no Air bags

Re: Porter Built 4 link or Port built trailing arm

The 4 link would give you more adjustments so you can fine tune it to your driving style.The trailing arms do have some adjustment to them but the 4 link gives you more.Or call them they can give you a run down of both kits and which would suit your needs more.

Here's a thread to a forum member's build that is running our trailing arm kit and tearing it up on the track.

He can would be a good source for feedback: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=587637

Re: Porter Built 4 link or Port built trailing arm

If you go to pbfab.com or Pro Performance web sites you can get good numbers. I think you'll have between $6000 and $6500 in a Touring Drop Member with coilovers. Probably a little less for bags but you'll have to buy an air management system so it likely evens out.
